EM³'s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning practice advises companies that develop, deploy, and invest in AI and ML technologies on a wide range of their legal needs. The Firm's multidisciplinary team of attorneys understands large language models (LLMs), machine learning, and AI technology in detail, which helps clients pursue their business goals while dealing with complex, evolving law across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory regimes.

The Firm advises clients across the full spectrum of AI adoption, from development and training through deployment and ongoing compliance. Our attorneys draft bespoke AI usage policies and procedures, negotiate AI development and licensing agreements, and counsel executive teams and boards on responsible AI governance frameworks. For companies building AI products, the Firm addresses intellectual property ownership and protectability, data licensing and acquisition, open-source software compliance, and the contractual terms that govern AI-powered services.

The Firm monitors and counsels clients on the rapidly developing global regulatory environment for AI, including federal and state legislation, FTC Act compliance, sector-specific AI regulations in healthcare and financial services, export control requirements, and international AI governance frameworks. Our attorneys help clients build compliance programs that meet current requirements and can be adapted as regulations change.

The Firm represents buyers, sellers, and investors in M&A transactions involving AI business models and use cases at all levels of the AI value chain. Our transactional attorneys negotiate AI development agreements, strategic technology partnerships, vendor contracts, and data licensing arrangements.

When AI-related disputes arise, the Firm draws on its IP litigation experience to represent clients in matters involving intellectual property ownership and protectability, patent and copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition, and product liability.
