The AI Attorney: Contracts, Governance, and Risk 2026
Counseling in the age of AI
As artificial intelligence (AI) shapes the future of business, lawyers must help clients manage the risks that come with using this emerging technology.
Today, attorneys need to do more than understand and explain AI. Business lawyers must have the knowledge to counsel clients on AI-related policies, contract provisions, risk allocation, data protection, and emerging legal obligations, while helping implement practical compliance strategies that align with evolving regulations and business needs.
