Overview

Our Artificial Intelligence, Privacy, and Technology Practice Group operates at the intersection of business, technology, and privacy. We lead with a focus on artificial intelligence, covering adoption, governance, compliance, intellectual property, and transactions, while drawing on deep experience in privacy law and technology agreements.

We help clients manage the risks of adopting AI, including regulatory scrutiny, contractual liability, and data protection, while also addressing the risks of not adopting AI, such as competitive disadvantage and operational inefficiency. By combining practical business insight with legal and technical knowledge, we enable clients to put AI to work responsibly and strategically. This integrated perspective allows us to advise on complex M&A deals, joint ventures, governance frameworks, privacy compliance, cybersecurity challenges, and IP protections unique to AI and data driven businesses.

Services We Provide

Our work spans the full range of AI, privacy, and technology law, including:

• Governance and Compliance: Designing and implementing AI governance policies that set standards for responsible adoption and oversight. We advise on internal frameworks for risk management, employee training on AI use, auditing of AI systems, and compliance with evolving federal, state, and international AI regulations.

• AI in Transactions: Structuring and negotiating mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures involving AI businesses, with attention to valuation, regulatory approvals, and risk allocation. We advise on due diligence unique to AI, including data rights, training datasets, model ownership, and regulatory compliance risks. Our team helps buyers and sellers assess intellectual property protections, contract portfolios, and vendor relationships, and structures deal terms to account for evolving AI laws. We also guide strategic investments, minority stakes, and partnerships in AI companies, ensuring that clients capture opportunity while mitigating exposure to legal and operational risks.

• Cybersecurity and Breach Response: Helping clients prepare for and respond to cyber incidents that threaten critical systems and data. Our work includes developing incident response plans, conducting tabletop exercises, and advising on security standards for AI tools. In the event of a breach, we coordinate forensic investigations, regulatory notifications, communications strategies, and remediation efforts. We also counsel on cybersecurity due diligence in M&A and vendor relationships to reduce exposure to hidden vulnerabilities.

• Privacy and Data Protection: Guiding clients through complex data protection requirements that intersect with AI and other technologies. We advise on compliance with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other state, federal, and international frameworks, including rules on automated decision making and consumer rights. Our team develops data governance policies covering collection, retention, and cross border transfers, and helps organizations with designing their AI training model in compliance with applicable privacy laws. We also assist with privacy impact assessments, vendor due diligence, and contract terms that address data ownership, security, and accountability across the supply chain.

• Intellectual Property: Protecting and leveraging the innovations that power AI. We advise on ownership and licensing of AI models, algorithms, and training datasets, as well as the protectability of AI generated outputs. Our team counsels on copyright, trade secret, and patent strategies, and drafts licensing structures that balance innovation incentives with compliance and risk management. We also help clients address issues such as training models on third party data, open source software integration, and the enforceability of restrictions on AI generated works.

• Contracts and Technology Agreements: Negotiating the agreements that drive technology adoption across industries. We draft and review SaaS, cloud, software licensing, and vendor contracts, addressing issues such as performance standards, service levels, data usage rights, indemnification, and compliance with privacy and cybersecurity requirements. Our team structures master services agreements, licensing frameworks, outsourcing arrangements, and joint development deals to allocate risk, protect intellectual property, and support scalable growth. We also advise on vendor diligence and contract integration in the context of M&A and strategic partnerships.
