We understand all forms of AI and the specific issues each raises from a risk management and contracting perspective. Our experience spans everything from helping nation states shape their AI policies to advising businesses across sectors on how to develop effective and responsible AI solutions, handle AI-focused transactions, and manage AI-related disputes.
