Contract Corner: TSAs: Mastering IT Transition Services | JD Supra
When an M&A transaction closes, the buyer will typically be unable to stand up its own IT environment on day one. In this scenario, the seller often continues operating existing IT systems, provides access to employees who understand them, and delivers data needed for the transition for a period after closing to assist the buyer in eventually operating a standalone IT environment of its own.

California’s New Child Online Safety Laws Reach the Product Stack
A teenager opens an app. The feed is personalized based on earlier activity. The next video starts automatically. A companion chatbot remembers yesterday’s conversation.

Tech & Sourcing @ Morgan Lewis
As AI continues to be incorporated into service offerings, outsourcing arrangements, and other commercial transactions, companies may find they are contracting for more than a discrete technology tool.

The modern brand partnership no longer stops at the stadium or the celebrity endorsement deal.
