The European Union has introduced a comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly for providers of high-risk AI systems and general-purpose AI models (GPAI). Under this framework, companies established outside the EU that intend to make such systems available on the EU market are required to appoint a legal representative established within the Union.

At Cindemir Law Office, we work in close cooperation with an authorised legal representative established in the EU. From our headquarters in Turkey, we receive and process applications from both Turkish AI companies and third-country providers. In this context, we proudly act as a bridge between non-EU AI developers and the European market, ensuring full legal compliance.

Our services include, but are not limited to:

• Facilitating the appointment of an EU-based legal representative,

• Guiding companies through the compliance and conformity assessment process,

• Preparing and maintaining technical documentation in accordance with EU law,

• Liaising directly with competent EU market surveillance authorities,

• Supporting post-market obligations such as incident reporting and audits.

We assist companies operating in the field of artificial intelligence in navigating the complex legal and regulatory requirements involved in entering the European market. Through our reliable network and experience in EU compliance, we provide a robust legal solution tailored to the needs of each client.
