Two regimes.
One coherent answer.

The EU AI Act enters its principal enforcement phase on 2 August 2026. High-risk system obligations apply. Penalties reach €35 million or 7% of global turnover.

The United Kingdom has chosen differently: no standalone Act, but a fragmented landscape — the ICO, FCA, PRA, MHRA, Ofcom — applying existing frameworks to AI. Most mid-market firms have material exposure to both regimes simultaneously.

Law firms produce opinions. Consultancies produce programmes. Neither produces both. We do.

A single principal.
Full legal training. Operational rigour.

Bracton Advisory is operated by a single principal, supported by a referral network of specialist solicitors and peer reviewers.

The principal holds full academic legal training: a Qualifying Law Degree in English law and a Master's degree in European Union Law. Combined with substantial project management experience across regulated programmes, the practice brings both legal substance and operational delivery in a single accountable contact.

We don't practise law and Bracton Advisory is not a law firm. We provide regulatory implementation, programme management and advisory; where formal legal opinions or contract drafting are required, we work alongside your instructed solicitors. This is by design — the work we do does not require regulated legal practice, and our pricing reflects it. Scope clarification

The practice takes its name from Henry de Bracton, the thirteenth-century English jurist whose treatise On the Laws and Customs of England helped lay the foundations of the common law — a discipline of reading the law closely and applying it in practice.

Four phases.
Defined and defensible.

  • i

    Discover

    Inventory your AI surface area — systems in production, development and procurement. Map stakeholders, existing governance, current state of documentation.

  • ii

    Classify

    Apply the EU AI Act framework system-by-system. Map UK regulatory exposure across applicable regulators. Document the reasoning for every classification.

  • iii

    Assess

    Gap analysis against applicable obligations under both regimes. Identify overlaps, conflicts, and the cross-cutting work that touches the whole estate.

  • iv

    Roadmap

    Prioritised twelve-month remediation plan with effort estimates, dependencies, governance recommendations, and a board-ready briefing pack.

Start a
conversation.

First conversations are forty-five minutes, complimentary, and end with a clear sense of whether we should work together. We say no when we should — both of our time is too valuable for misfit engagements.
