Liability does not vanish
When software makes an error, the enterprise pays for it. We work to cap, allocate, and anticipate liability in the contract.
PRACTICE · AI LAW
AI Corporate Governance & Liability
When an algorithmic agent negotiates a contract or executes a trade, the resulting liability does not vanish—it attaches to the enterprise that deployed the system. We counsel corporate boards, executives, and founders on the precise allocation of risk for autonomous software. We build the oversight frameworks that protect directors from liability and draft the external contracts that dictate what happens when software acts on its own volition.

Liability does not vanish
When software makes an error, the enterprise pays for it.
Principles · 01
How we draft the matter.
Every engagement is composed against these commitments. They shape the protections we add, the questions we ask, and the document that leaves the file.
Directors must monitor
The duty of oversight applies to algorithmic risk. We build the reporting channels that protect the board from Caremark claims.
Identity is an asset
A founder's voice and likeness are intellectual property. We aggressively deploy state laws to block unauthorized digital clones.
What we watch · 02
What can break the matter.
These are the terms, structures, and practical risks that usually decide whether the work holds when the file is tested.
ENTERPRISEFOUNDER
AI Agency Contracting
Drafting the external terms of service and commercial agreements that legally allocate fault when an autonomous agent makes a financial or contractual error.
DIRECTORGC
Caremark-Style Oversight
Establishing the documented board-level reporting structures required to defend corporate directors against claims of failing to monitor algorithmic risk and deployment safety.
EXECUTIVEESTATE
Digital Replica Defense
Aggressively prosecuting unauthorized digital cloning and enforcing postmortem publicity rights under New York Civil Rights Law § 50-f and emerging federal frameworks.
The work · 03
Four steps. One engagement.
Each step is concrete; each step has a deliverable. The scope is defined, the matter moves, and the file closes.
- 01
Risk Mapping
We audit the specific autonomous systems your enterprise is deploying and map the potential vectors for liability.
- 02
Board Structuring
We institute the formal reporting channels and committee charters necessary to satisfy the duty of oversight regarding AI risks.
- 03
Contract Allocation
We revise your customer-facing terms and vendor agreements to explicitly cap liability for algorithmic hallucinations or agent errors.
- 04
Active Monitoring
We maintain an ongoing cadence with the general counsel to adapt the governance structure as deployment scales.
