Nikita Fesyukov specialises in information and modern technology law, including artificial intelligence law, and the legal aspects of digital transformation. In his practice, he focuses on complex legal issues related to the development, training, deployment, and commercial use of AI systems, as well as data management, software solutions, and advanced digital platforms. A significant part of his expertise lies in intellectual property law in a technological context, particularly the protection and licensing of software, data, algorithms, and audiovisual works. He also lectures on AI-related topics at professional seminars and practical workshops.

In addition to regulatory and contractual matters, Nikita has experience in transactional advisory within the technology sector, including legal assessments of technology assets, transfers and licensing of intellectual property, and structuring legal frameworks for the development and commercialisation of technological solutions. He is also involved in projects for the public sector, focusing on digitalisation, modern technology regulation, and the legal aspects of solutions used by public administration.

A distinctive area of his practice is the legal regulation of the gaming industry, film and audiovisual production, and the broader entertainment sector. In this context, Nikita advises on contractual relationships between developers, publishers, and distributors, monetisation of digital content, consumer protection, regulatory limits on digital services, and protection of the rights of authors and other rights holders in creative industries, including overlaps with gambling law. His professional activities include lecturing and workshops focused on the legal aspects of video game development, publishing, and operation, presented at professional seminars, workshops, and conferences, including Game Access, the largest gaming conference in the Czech Republic. Nikita has a long-standing interest in the intersection of law and technology, particularly advanced and regulatory-sensitive topics where legislation reacts to rapid technological progress.

During his studies, he completed an internship at the Permanent Mission of the Czech Republic to the United Nations and other international organisations in Geneva, focusing on international law, including modern technology regulation, digital agendas, and global regulatory initiatives. Nikita also interned at the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic in Brno.

Prior to joining our law firm, he worked at Specialis law firm, where he focused primarily on international law and related legal matters, and at the Czech Association of Football Players, advising on sports law and legal issues related to the position of professional athletes.
