Constantin Razvan Gospodin

Constantin Razvan Gospodin is a European-trained attorney with a legal education spanning two EU civil law jurisdictions, Romania and Spain, and bar admission under the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Tenerife (ICATF nº 5961). That formation is not incidental to AI governance work. The EU AI Act, GDPR, and the regulatory philosophy now shaping global AI policy were produced by European civil law systems, the same systems Constantin studied and practiced within. Understanding them from the inside, not as an observer reading translations, is a rare and concrete advantage when advising organizations on compliance.

Constantin holds a Master's degree in Law from a Spanish university, with a thesis on covert surveillance and evidence admissibility in comparative law, examining how different legal systems regulate state interception of communications and the evidentiary standards courts apply to outputs of opaque processes. That question — when a system produces a consequential output, how does the law evaluate what went into it — now sits at the center of every serious AI governance engagement.

Over more than a decade of EU legal practice, Constantin built expertise across three fields that algorithmic systems have fundamentally altered: immigration law, criminal defense, and data privacy. Each of them generates hard compliance obligations under the EU AI Act and GDPR. Each of them has been litigated. That combination — adversarial legal practice in high-stakes, rights-affecting proceedings, combined with direct knowledge of the EU regulatory architecture — is the foundation of the AI governance practice at Lexara Advisory, now operating from New York to serve organizations across the United States and EU.
