Because your compliance strategy deserves a human, not a prompt.
We help AI startups, SaaS scale-ups and companies entering Europe turn the EU AI Act, the GDPR and the rest of the EU digital rulebook into a competitive edge. Clear answers from certified IT lawyers and compliance specialists, in days, not months.
01 / The business reality
Enterprise buyers ask about your AI governance before they ask for a demo. Investors run regulatory exposure in due diligence. The companies that treat compliance as a sales asset close faster than the ones that treat it as a tax. That's where we come in.

03 / The team
Mike Nimród / Lead IT & data protection lawyer
Brightline Advisory is a team of certified IT lawyers and compliance specialists with one focus: EU digital and data regulation. We work with AI startups, SaaS scale-ups and companies entering the European market, and we answer in the language of product decisions, not legal memos.
The practice is led by Mike Nimród, an IT and data protection lawyer with more than nine years at the crossroads of law and technology, who also lectures and researches at Corvinus University of Budapest on data governance and AI regulation. Around him, privacy professionals and compliance specialists bring product, security and process experience, so the work gets done rather than merely described.
What drives us is making frameworks like the EU AI Act, the GDPR and the Data Act understandable and practical. We turn regulatory complexity into clear decisions and documented compliance, so your organisation can grow in Europe with confidence.
