Technology & Artificial Intelligence

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is changing the world faster than we realize. Abundant data, powerful computing tools, and advanced algorithms now allow machines to perform complex tasks previously thought impossible. Over the past several years, AI has spread to permeate practically every industry, and many facets of our daily lives. Companies and researchers make amazing new strides every day.

Our attorneys thrive at helping innovative companies, entrepreneurs, and creative individuals overcome their most difficult legal challenges. A company’s contractual arrangements provide the foundation for their success. Further, clients often enter negotiations needing legal guidance on how to achieve their objectives. We help clients achieve those objectives in an efficient, business-minded manner, with an eye toward maximizing the ability to create value. Indeed, our partner Joseph Wilbert is developing in-house AI-based legal technology software that helps us automate repetitive legal work—so we can operate efficiently, focus on high value work, and save costs for clients.
