About Icoolaw 2025

The Congress focused on data protection, AI regulation and the digital transformation of legal practice.

Icoolaw 2025 was dedicated to two key topics of modern law – data protection (GDPR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Through expert lectures, workshops and practical case studies, participants had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and exchange experience with leading legal experts.

The Congress covered topics such as the AI Act and its relationship with the GDPR, best practices from national legislation in different countries, and legal developments affecting the legal sector, with a particular focus on digital transformation and its impact on data privacy.

Experts from the region and abroad shared their experience and insights into the challenges of applying the GDPR in an era of rapid technological development. Particular attention was given to the legal implications of artificial intelligence, as well as the opportunities and risks AI brings to the legal sector.
