Alawyer, eine KI Software zur Unterstützung bei der Beantwortung von Rechtsfragen aus Österreich, ist ab sofort mit Inhalten aus elf europäischen Jurisdiktionen verfügbar. Sie liefert Privatpersonen wie Unternehmen rechtliche Orientierung auf Basis offizieller Quellen und Fachliteratur.

Alawyer verfolgt einen benutzerfreundlichen Ansatz. Die KI recherchiert auf Grundlage von Gesetzen, Gerichtsentscheidungen, Fachliteratur und anderen offiziellen Quellen wie dem Grundbuch oder dem Firmenbuch. Dabei folgt sie derselben juristischen Methodik, die auch Jurist:innen bei der rechtlichen Recherche anwenden. Die Inhalte werden verständlich und nachvollziehbar aufbereitet, sodass den Antworten auch Laien folgen können. Die Überprüfung der KI-generierten Texte durch eine Expert:in ist dennoch notwendig, da Alawyer weder Rechts- noch Steuerberatung erbringt.

„Alawyer ist bewusst nicht nur für Juristinnen und Juristen entwickelt und soll auch keinesfalls Anwält:innen oder Steuerberater:innen ersetzen. Im Gegenteil, die KI wurde mit rund 200 Expert:innen entwickelt: Schon jetzt gehören viele von ihnen zu unseren allerersten User:innen und profitieren selbst von dem Paradigmenwechsel im Rechtsbereich“, sagt Wolfgang Deutschmann, Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Alawyer.

Verfügbar ist Alawyer ab sofort mit Gesetzen und Gerichtsentscheidungen aus elf Ländern: neben Österreich und Deutschland zählen Frankreich, Italien, Spanien, die Niederlande, Polen, Tschechien, Schweden, Dänemark und Finnland mit dazu. In den kommenden Monaten wird Alawyer für Nutzer:innen aus all diesen Ländern verfügbar sein. Der Rest der EU folgt bis zum Jahresende.

A significant decision clarifying the lawful scope of personal data processing in the course of public institutions’ statutory functions and litigation activities

Dentons has advised Hyve, a global organiser of B2B events and provider of content, networking and customer engagement platforms, on its acquisition of LegalTechTalk, Europe's leading event for legal technology and transformation.

Nigeria: On 1 August 2025, the Guidelines for Insurtech Operations in Nigeria (the “Guidelines”) took effect, giving Nigeria its first dedicated regulatory framework for insurance technology businesses.

United States: On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in Trump v. Slaughter, holding that the “for cause” removal provision for Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioners “is contrary to the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.” In doing so, the Court overruled Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, a nearly century-old precedent that had long protected commissioners and board members of “independent” agencies from at-will presidential removal. As a result, the President now has unchecked authority to remove such leaders of agencies that exercise executive power, as any statutory “for cause” protections are now unconstitutional.

United Arab Emirates: Federal Decree-Law No. (25) of 2025 (the New Civil Code), which came into force on 1 June 2026, represents the first comprehensive overhaul of the UAE's law on civil transactions in more than 40 years.

Dentons has advised CVC DIF, the infrastructure strategy of leading global private markets manager CVC, on the agreement to divest Klara Renewables, a portfolio of six operational onshore wind farms in Poland, to Actis, a leading global sustainable infrastructure investor.

Dentons acted as Uzbek legal counsel to DataVolt, a global leader in the development of large-scale data centers and integrated infrastructure solutions, in connection with a non-recourse project financing of up to USD 150 million from a consortium of Development Finance Institutions comprising DEG, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), OPEC Fund for International Development, and Proparco.

Dentons Hong Kong is delighted to announce that it has been named "Client Choice Award – Firm of the Year: Hong Kong SAR" at the Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific & China Awards 2026.

New Zealand: The Government has announced new updates to the Business Investor Work Visa (BIWV), expanding the range of eligible investments and providing greater flexibility for foreign investors seeking to gain New Zealand residence. The changes took effect on 6 July 2026.

Europe: The EU is tightening its foreign direct investment (FDI) screening regime. For non-European investors, this means more investments and acquisitions in companies active in Europe may require regulatory approval, particularly where investments made through EU holding companies involve sensitive sectors or are backed by state-linked capital.
