High-risk AI systems are those that influence critical decisions in areas like education, employment, finance, healthcare, and more. The responsibilities imp

An unclear or overly broad scope can lead to disputes and misaligned expectations between parties. It's essential to clearly define services and define deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities precisely to avoid potential conflicts and ensure smooth project execution and deal success. Always revi

Today, I want to talk about a topic that’s central to the growth and evolution of many companies: mergers and acquisitions, or M&A. We recently completed a successful merger between two growing tech firms. The process was intricate, involving due diligence, strategic negotiations, and careful planning. M&As can drive growth, create synergies, and enhance competitive advantages, but they also require meticulous attention to detail and expert legal and tax guidance to navig

Think proactively about legal if you are looking to sca

The recent dispute between Scarlett Johansson and OpenAI over the unauthorized use of a voice reminiscent of hers highlights the issue of the tech industry's "move fast and break things" mentality. This incident is a reminder that AI innovation runs into intellectual property, data privacy, and individual rights. Voluntary commitments by AI companies are a start, but they need to evolve into enforceable regulations to ensure accountability moving forward, especially to pr
