Artificial Intelligence Lawyers

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how people work and how organizations innovate, make decisions, and deliver value. The legal landscape is changing just as quickly. FRB’s AI Attorneys help business leaders and in‑house counsel navigate the complex mix of legal and regulatory issues raised by the adoption and use of AI. We combine deep technology fluency with practical, business‑forward legal services so you can adopt generative AI responsibly across your organization, while protecting your business and its intellectual property.

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Over the last several years, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have moved from research labs into everyday operations across industries. From healthcare diagnostics and fintech risk models to retail personalization and even legal analysis, the explosion of generative AI has accelerated adoption and created new opportunities for efficiency and growth. But AI has also introduced novel risks around data provenance, intellectual property, privacy and security, which demand informed oversight by AI lawyers who understand both the technology and the business, legal, and regulatory environments in which it operates.

As AI adoption has surged, governance and regulatory frameworks around its use have become dynamic and fractured. Across the U.S., both federal and state regulators are actively creating rules and bringing enforcement actions. For example, the FTC and SEC have announced they are targeting deceptive AI claims, HHS/OCR, the CPPA, and the State of Colorado are adopting privacy and automated-decision-making requirements, NYDFS is guiding insurers’ use of AI, the EEOC is enforcing against improper AI-related hiring discrimination, and FDA and NHTSA are tightening safety oversight of AI-enabled devices and automated vehicles. Courts around the world are beginning to address copyright and trademark issues in training data, output ownership, and e-discovery implications. Meanwhile, global initiatives are shaping expectations for transparency, risk management, and incident reporting. Notably, the European Union has taken a leading role with the introduction of the EU AI Act, which establishes a comprehensive risk-based framework for AI systems and imposes strict obligations on providers and users, including transparency, accountability, and human oversight requirements. In short, the laws and regulations around AI are evolving faster than most organizations can track on their own.

For businesses, that pace of change creates a moving target: what was a best practice last quarter may be insufficient today. Technology companies shipping AI features, enterprises integrating third‑party models, and startups training proprietary systems all face questions that straddle product design and legal risk. FRB’s AI team helps clients anticipate where the rules are headed and translate legal requirements into usable policies and actionable advice that developers and business executives can actually use.

When Do You Need an AI Attorney? 

You should engage an AI attorney when your organization is building, buying, or deploying AI tools that influence customers, employees, or high‑stakes business decisions. That includes developing AI policies, negotiating with AI developers for custom development, training a model with proprietary or licensed data, rolling out tools to your workforce, or embedding AI into a consumer‑facing product. Early counseling and creation of internal policies can prevent costly rework and reduce downstream litigation exposure.

You also need specialized counsel when you encounter warning signs: a regulator inquiry; a privacy or security incident tied to model behavior; a demand letter alleging algorithmic bias or discrimination; disputes over data licenses, training data, or content outputs; or negotiation regarding AI contract provisions. An AI attorney can triage the issue, assess legal and regulatory implications, and advise in a fashion that preserves credibility with stakeholders.

How Our AI Attorneys Can Help You

Strategy and Governance 

We help design AI governance that fits your risk profile and culture. Our team works with legal departments and business owners to inventory AI use cases, classify risk, and establish a practical framework for approvals and oversight. We develop policies for acceptable use, data retention, human‑in‑the‑loop validation, monitoring, and incident response. 

Regulatory Compliance and Product Counseling 

FRB provides day‑to‑day counseling to keep your AI initiatives compliant with current laws and regulations and ready for what comes next. We support regulatory readiness (including responding to civil investigative demands and inquiries), help craft consumer and employee notices, and review marketing claims to avoid deception risks around “AI‑powered” features. For labor and employment, we can assess hiring tools, wage‑and‑hour monitoring, and workplace analytics for discriminatory impact, and we guide the implementation of appropriate safeguards. For intellectual property, we can advise on fair use, the use of structured data and licensed content, the protection of trade secrets, customer terms of service (including the ownership of outputs and assignment), and coordinate patent and copyright strategies for AI‑enabled creations and inventions.

Transactions, Contracts, and Disputes

Whether you are procuring AI services, offering AI features to your customers, or acquiring a company with AI assets, we can help you negotiate the provisions that matter: ownership and data rights, training restrictions, usage controls, security, and indemnities for IP, privacy, and safety claims. In M&A and venture deals, we conduct AI‑specific due diligence. When disputes arise, we represent clients in litigation and investigations involving automated systems. Our litigators and regulatory lawyers collaborate to position you for the best possible outcome while protecting your business and reputation.

Our cross‑disciplinary team includes attorneys who regularly counsel technology companies, data‑savvy litigators, and former in‑house counsel who have shipped technology products under real‑world deadlines. We don’t just spot issues; we help you decide when to mitigate, when to monitor, and when to proceed. Our legal advice accelerates your roadmap rather than slowing it down.

Coverage Across the Enterprise 

Because AI touches every function, you need a law firm that can advise clients holistically. From privacy and security to labor and employment, from intellectual property laws to marketing and product, from commercial contracts to corporate governance, FRB delivers cohesive, end‑to‑end legal services that align your technical ambitions with legal and regulatory realities.

How We Use AI and Align with Model Guidance

We’re Right There With You

At FRB, we don’t just advise on AI from the sidelines. We actively embrace technology in our own practice. We have adopted AI tools internally at scale, including a whole-firm license with Harvey, and have developed robust internal policies to guide responsible and effective use. Our attorneys and staff are constantly experimenting with new AI capabilities, learning firsthand how to maximize value while managing risk. If we can successfully implement and govern AI across our own complex, multi-disciplinary firm, we are uniquely positioned to help your organization do the same.

Ethics and Professional Responsibility

We ground our work in lawyer competence, confidentiality, communication, diligence, truthful marketing, supervision, and conflicts. We maintain technological competence consistent with the ABA Model Rules, including protecting client confidences and evolving fee structures to accommodate gained efficiencies.

Risk‑Based Governance

We help clients calibrate AI governance to the sensitivity and impact of each use case. This typically includes maintaining a use-case inventory, conducting proportionate impact assessments, establishing human validation, implementing role-based approvals, ongoing monitoring, and periodic audits. We recommend clear accountability, decision rights, and escalation paths, with board-level reporting where appropriate.

Our Firm’s Approach to Data Privacy

We have implemented controls to avoid exposing confidential or privileged information to public models and operate in secure enterprise environments. We have contracted for no‑training and model‑deletion options where feasible.
