Yiannos Georgiades is a lawyer practising across Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and globally, with expertise in technology law, intellectual property, and the intersection of legal systems in a rapidly transforming digital environment. Their practice encompasses advisory work for clients in the creative and technology sectors — including writers, publishers, performers, studios, game developers, music creators, journalists, and technology companies — and engagement with regulatory developments in European, British, and Gulf markets.
The author has advised on matters at the intersection of AI development and creative rights across multiple jurisdictions, including questions of performer rights, adaptation rights, AI-generated character ownership, training data consent, voice and likeness rights, and the contractual frameworks governing AI-assisted creative production in film, music, publishing, and gaming.
In addition to legal practice, the author is co-founder of Kinisis Ventures, a regulated investment fund focusing on innovation and technology. Kinisis Ventures supports innovative companies in scaling into major international markets, with a particular focus on the United States, working at the frontier where legal frameworks, investment strategy, and emerging technology intersect. This dual perspective — as both legal practitioner and active participant in the innovation economy — informs the practical and forward-looking orientation of this book.
Yiannos Georgiades is based in Nicosia, Cyprus.
