That creates a practical challenge for companies: even a letter that looks convincing at first glance still has to be reviewed on its merits and handled reliably. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/dsa-designation-chatgpt-ki-governance/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/dsa-designation-chatgpt-ki-governance/ Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT On 31 August 2026 the European Commission designated ChatGPT, Reddit and Roblox as very large services under the Digital Services Act. Platform regulation and generative AI are moving even closer to everyday business. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/clarius-legal-operations-konferenz-2026/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/clarius-legal-operations-konferenz-2026/ Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT We are pleased to be attending the 2026 Legal Operations Conference in Cologne on 17 and 18 June. The conference brings together leading figures from legal departments, law firms and legal operations – and we will be right at the heart of it. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/clarius-group-startet-ki-plattform-clair/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/clarius-group-startet-ki-plattform-clair/ Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Clarius Group presents its AI platform CLAIR. It brings together legal advice, process automation, AI agents and structured data models in a single infrastructure. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/homeoffice-arbeitsschutzpflichten-verantwortung/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/homeoffice-arbeitsschutzpflichten-verantwortung/ Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT The increasing prevalence of homeworking and hybrid working models raises a central question for companies: who is responsible for occupational safety when employees work from home rather than in a traditional office? https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/handelsblatt-sonderpublikation-digital-law-2026/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/handelsblatt-sonderpublikation-digital-law-2026/ Thu, 09 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI handles routine tasks. People make decisions. It sounds simple – but it is not. In the legal sector especially, the question is how people and machines genuinely work together in day-to-day client matters: who bears responsibility? Who reviews, who decides, who is liable? https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/arbeitsschutz-vs-arbeitssicherheit-wo-liegt-der-unterschied/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/arbeitsschutz-vs-arbeitssicherheit-wo-liegt-der-unterschied/ Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT In business practice, the terms occupational health and safety and occupational safety are often treated as synonyms. From a legal and organisational perspective, however, the distinction is essential. It concerns not only terminology, but the structure of corporate responsibility and therefore a company’s liability and compliance directly. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/josef-blank-beck-zusaetzlicher-geschaeftsfuehrer-clarius-services-gmbh/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/josef-blank-beck-zusaetzlicher-geschaeftsfuehrer-clarius-services-gmbh/ Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT Clarius Services GmbH is expanding its management team from 1 March 2026: Josef Blank-Beck is being appointed as an additional Managing Director. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/it-sicherheitskonzept-fuer-unternehmen-erstellen/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/it-sicherheitskonzept-fuer-unternehmen-erstellen/ Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT Data security is not an add-on — it is business-critical. In an age of digital business models, mobile workplaces and cloud-based processes, a well-designed IT security concept is essential for companies. Protecting data safeguards not only trade secrets, but also a company’s ability to operate and the trust of customers, partners and authorities. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/digitale-altersverifikation/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/digitale-altersverifikation/ Mon, 26 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Digital age verification is in the process of moving from a "nice to have" to a genuine compliance topic. The reason: the EU is increasing the pressure to protect minors more effectively online while at the same time safeguarding privacy. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/juve-artikel-alsp-markt-veraendern/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/juve-artikel-alsp-markt-veraendern/ Tue, 16 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT A recent article by JUVE Verlag für juristische Information describes how alternative legal service providers are gaining importance worldwide and presents the Clarius Group as a German success story. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/it-business-beitrag-it-musterung-riedel-networks-clarius/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/it-business-beitrag-it-musterung-riedel-networks-clarius/ Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The trade publication IT-BUSINESS spoke to Dr Arnt Glienke, LL.M., CCP, our Head of Legal & Consulting, and Michael Martens, CEO of Riedel Networks. The current issue presents our concept. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/fuehrender-managed-services-provider/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/fuehrender-managed-services-provider/ Tue, 15 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT For many years, Clarius Group has supported companies in outsourcing and optimising their support functions in compliance, legal, technology and data protection. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag-erstellung-pruefung-leicht-gemacht/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag-erstellung-pruefung-leicht-gemacht/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Data protection is a subject that makes many companies break into a sweat. Data processing agreements (DPAs) are particularly tricky. They are not only required by law, but also essential to ensure that collaboration with service providers complies with data protection law. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/barrierefreiheitsstaerkungsgesetz-nimmt-hersteller-und-haendler-in-die-pflicht/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/barrierefreiheitsstaerkungsgesetz-nimmt-hersteller-und-haendler-in-die-pflicht/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The new BFSG enters into force in Germany on 28 June 2025. The national legislator is thereby transposing Directive (EU) 2019/882 into national law. The directive aims to establish uniform accessibility standards for services and products in the B2C sector. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/business-process-outsourcing-mit-uebernahme-von-personal/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/business-process-outsourcing-mit-uebernahme-von-personal/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT When times get tougher, companies focus on their core competencies and activities. Everything else is open to question. As a law firm specialising in legal outsourcing, we are seeing this first-hand. We take on specific legal tasks for our clients, such as data protection or contract negotiations. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/csrd-news/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/csrd-news/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The European Commission has opened infringement proceedings against Germany because the CSRD has still not been transposed into national law. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/dora-it-sicherheit-finanzbranche-unternehmen/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/dora-it-sicherheit-finanzbranche-unternehmen/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Digitalisation has fundamentally changed the financial sector in recent years. While digital processes enable efficiency gains and innovative services, the risk of IT outages and cyber attacks is rising at the same time. To address these challenges, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has applied since 17 January 2025. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/dora-vertragsanpassungen-unternehmen/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/dora-vertragsanpassungen-unternehmen/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT With the introduction of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), financial undertakings are required to improve their digital and operational resilience comprehensively. While many companies are already implementing technical measures, a crucial aspect often recedes into the background: contractual adaptation to the new regulatory requirements. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/eu-ai-act/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/eu-ai-act/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The training obligation under the new EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025.

It forms part of the EU strategy to reduce its environmental footprint and meet international commitments. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/eugh-urteil-februar-2025-dsgvo-bussgelder/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/eugh-urteil-februar-2025-dsgvo-bussgelder/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The calculation of fines under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been debated for years. A central question is whether a fine should be based on the turnover of the legal entity directly concerned or the total turnover of a group of companies. The CJEU has now addressed this uncertainty. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/externe-fachkraefte-arbeitssicherheit-vorteile-nachteile/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/externe-fachkraefte-arbeitssicherheit-vorteile-nachteile/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Occupational safety plays a crucial role in every company. It not only protects employees’ health and safety, but also helps companies comply with legal requirements and avoid the long-term costs of accidents or absence from work. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/it-sicherheit-die-hacker-werden-immer-aggressiver/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/it-sicherheit-die-hacker-werden-immer-aggressiver/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The number of cyberattacks and the scale of the damage are increasing across Germany — and NIS2 is being put on hold at precisely this moment https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/ki-verordnung-eu-personalwesen/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/ki-verordnung-eu-personalwesen/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The EU AI Act imposes specific requirements on AI applications in HR. Companies should examine their use cases and risks at an early stage. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/legal-tech-als-zukunft-der-juristerei-interessiert-branchenuebergreifend-interview-im-venture-capital-magazin/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/legal-tech-als-zukunft-der-juristerei-interessiert-branchenuebergreifend-interview-im-venture-capital-magazin/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The legal profession is changing — and companies are taking notice. VentureCapital Magazin therefore asked us for our views on the digitalisation of legal departments. This resulted in the compelling article "Legal Tech reformiert das Rechtswesen". https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/mitarbeiterschulungen-kuenstliche-intelligenz-eu-vorgaben/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/mitarbeiterschulungen-kuenstliche-intelligenz-eu-vorgaben/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the defining trend of recent years. But with great power comes great responsibility — and this has applied since 2 February 2025. Companies covered by the new EU AI Act must train their employees in the safe and effective use of AI applications. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/pflicht-eines-links-zur-os-plattform-entfaellt/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/pflicht-eines-links-zur-os-plattform-entfaellt/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT The EU online dispute resolution platform — the ODR platform — will be discontinued on 20 July 2025. The requirement for online retailers to link to the ODR platform, in place since 2016, will therefore also cease to apply. For many retailers, this is a welcome relief. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/rechtssichere-videoueberwachung-arbeitsplatz-dsgvo/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/rechtssichere-videoueberwachung-arbeitsplatz-dsgvo/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Imagine walking into your office and suddenly feeling like a film star — cameras everywhere, tracking your every move. Sounds like Hollywood? Unfortunately not. Many companies use video surveillance to ensure security. But without the correct legal basis, this can quickly become a serious data protection problem. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/strenge-vorgaben-fuer-finanzunternehmen/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/strenge-vorgaben-fuer-finanzunternehmen/ Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT Alongside the new NIS2 Directive, which we have already discussed elsewhere, the European legislator has established further cybersecurity compliance requirements for particular companies through DORA.

Even though that deadline could hardly be met, the rules are coming. And they are foreseeable. Action is therefore required! The NIS2 Directive covers a far wider range of institutions than its 2016 predecessor. https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/aufsichtsbehorden-kontrollieren-cookie-banner/ https://clarius-group.com/en/insights/aufsichtsbehorden-kontrollieren-cookie-banner/ Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT Data protection supervisory authorities are inspecting cookie banners.
