    Overview

    The use of computers to perform human thinking and learning functions is now pervasive. Artificial intelligence is embedded in consumer products, sales and marketing techniques, manufacturing processes, distribution systems, transportation, energy exploration, and financial services. Our attorneys, trained in technology, understand how artificial intelligence works and how to advise clients about legal problems that stem from its use.

    Intellectual Property
    Artificial intelligence is an important component of many products and services. We help clients protect their intellectual property in these products and services though patents, trade secrets, copyrights, and trademarks.

    Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Transactions
    We help clients organize corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, and other business organizations. We advise clients in evaluating technology for making investments and raising capital. And we assist clients in addressing artificial intelligence issues in contractual relationships with third parties.

    Data Privacy and Cybersecurity
    Artificial intelligence depends heavily on the collection and use of third-party data, which raises both privacy and security concerns. Our Data Privacy and Cybersecurity group has extensive experience in areas involving owning, using, sharing, selling, and regulating data; consumer and commercial agreements; and minimizing security threats.

    Product Liability
    We help clients design and commercialize products to minimize product-liability risk. When disputes over artificial intelligence arise, as they ultimately will, we have both the technical background and legal expertise necessary to vigorously represent our clients in court.
