Artificial Intelligence & Data Governance

Advising clients at the frontier of technology, research, and intellectual property.

Overview

Artificial intelligence is transforming how organizations create, analyze, and distribute information. These advances raise complex legal questions around copyright, data provenance, transparency, and regulatory compliance. Our firm helps companies, research institutions, governments, and cultural organizations navigate the legal frameworks that govern AI and automated text and data mining (TDM).

We combine international IP expertise, comparative regulatory knowledge, and deep experience in copyright and digital rights to provide future-focused, practical guidance.

Our Distinctive Approach

Comparative Global Analysis

We advise on AI and TDM frameworks across jurisdictions — U.S., EU, Latin America, Andean Community, and WIPO contexts — allowing clients to operate confidently at an international scale.

Deep Copyright Expertise

Our foundation in copyright, design law, and digital platforms gives us a unique perspective on AI’s interaction with protected works, authors’ rights, and the right to research.

Policy-Level Insight

Our work in international IP reform, including participation in WIPO processes, informs our understanding of emerging standards and regulatory trajectories.

Academic Rigor + Real-World Solutions

We bridge scholarship, legislation, and practical lawyering — delivering advice that is both theoretically sound and immediately applicable.
