Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani is pleased to announce the formation of its Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Practice Group. Our AI team is both national and multi-disciplinary in scope, covering a broad waterfront of issues, and is uniquely equipped to help our clients harness AI’s transformative power while navigating the rapidly evolving legal landscape and avoiding perils along the way.
GRSM’s lawyers are well-versed in the multiple, varying potential applications of artificial intelligence and the wide range of legal issues presented by it, have been involved with providing litigation and counseling services in this field, and have frequently written and spoken on cutting-edge topics germane to AI technology and its implications.
The Artificial Intelligence Practice Group is led by Washington, D.C. Partner, Damon Wright and features the expertise of firm attorneys nationwide. Our AI practice group serves clients across diverse industries, including technology, finance, healthcare, insurance, advertising, entertainment, and e-commerce.
"Our world is witnessing AI revolutionize business at an unprecedented pace," said Damon Wright, GRSM AI Practice Group Chair. "But we're pleased to say we saw this coming, as our firm has helped innovative clients embrace AI, enjoy its immense opportunities, and overcome its legal challenges for years. With our AI practice group, we will continue at the forefront and provide our clients the highest level of service and expertise in this transformative era."
In addition to providing substantive legal services in matters involving AI, the GRSM AI Practice Group also utilizes its extensive knowledge in the field to vet and incorporate the latest technologies into the firm’s operations to ensure a state-of-the-art legal practice that can optimize and benefit from technological advances by improving efficiencies, maximizing speed, and reducing costs.
On a substantive basis, the group’s members collaborate with related practice groups, including Advertising & E-Commerce, Emerging Technologies, Intellectual Property, Cyber, Privacy & Data Security, and Technology Litigation, to provide a broad spectrum of services:
Counseling: We provide strategic advice to clients involved in AI technology development and AI content creation. We address data collection, content creation, and compliance strategies. We advise on copyright, unauthorized data access, and privacy issues. We assist clients in understanding the implications of misleading or deceptive AI-generated information, i.e., hallucinations. We track and advise on recent legislation spanning data protection, algorithmic transparency, and consumer rights.
Litigation: Our highly experienced litigators represent clients nationwide in AI-related lawsuits. We regularly defend cases concerning computer trespass, copyright infringement, advertising, and consumer data issues. We handle cases concerning alleged bias in AI algorithms, misuse of AI-generated content, and data protection. Our team also assists clients in responding to Federal Trade Commission and other regulatory inquiries, investigations, or enforcement actions.
Transactions: We support clients who license AI solutions to their clients or engage in other transactions involving AI technologies. We negotiate, structure, and finalize AI-related transactions to safeguard intellectual property, define the scope of authorized use, and limit liability. We help our clients to protect their intellectual property and data from infringement and misuse by others. Our goal with every AI-related transaction is to ensure that clients can fully monetize and reap the benefits of AI while minimizing potential risks.
Because the AI technology and legal landscape is rapidly evolving, we closely monitor developments in AI technology and AI-related legislation, regulatory action, and litigation. Our team members have advanced computer science and linguistics degrees, have taught judges about the use and legal implications of AI, and regularly write and speak on AI topics before industry trade associations. We take pride in providing our clients with current insights and strategies to help them succeed in this dynamic field.
