Those building and investing in the future deserve counsel that understand it.

Technological development consistently outpaces society’s ability to absorb it, and in few areas is this truer than artificial intelligence. Our practice helps clients manage that turbulence, turning disruption into strategy.

We don’t simply advise on AI. We are embedded in the ecosystem that is defining it. From the researchers training frontier models to the world’s most sophisticated investors deploying billions into AI infrastructure, we stand beside the institutions whose decisions today will shape this technology for decades.

We believe these institutions deserve advice from counsel that has been in the room, negotiating the agreements bringing foundation models to market, defending the cases defining AI copyright law, advising governments on the regulatory frameworks governing this technology worldwide and working alongside the world’s most sophisticated investors on the transactions reshaping the AI landscape.

Our practice has focused almost exclusively on AI and advanced automation since 2022, developing the technical fluency to understand the technology, the judgment to navigate uncharted legal terrain and the relationships to know what the market looks like from the inside.
