Client Alert: Artificial Intelligence Broke the Software Contract: The New Battle Over Indemnities, Warranties, and Liability Caps | JD Supra
For decades, software contracts followed a relatively predictable pattern. Customers pushed for broad intellectual property (IP) indemnities, meaningful warranties, and liability caps large enough to provide a practical remedy if things went wrong. Vendors responded by narrowing obligations, limiting damages, and carving out as much risk as possible. The parties negotiated, found a middle ground, and closed the deal. Artificial intelligence (AI) has disrupted that balance.

Client Alert: China Made Meta Give Back a $2 Billion Artificial Intelligence Acquisition: What It Means for Your Next Cross-Border Deal
For most in-house counsel advising on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the calculus has been relatively straightforward: identify the target, confirm the governing jurisdictions, map the regulatory approvals, close the deal, and move on. If the company was incorporated in Singapore, the regulatory story belonged to Singapore. If the technology resided in an offshore entity, the analysis followed the entity. That premise is no longer safe.
When a Car Becomes a Data Broker: Why the Federal Trade Commission’s General Motors/OnStar Order Matters
For years, lawyers advising data-driven companies have taken relative comfort in a familiar premise: collect consumer data, disclose it in a privacy policy, and reserve flexibility through broadly drafted consent language. In January 2026, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) made clear that this comfort may be overstated, at least where sensitive data is repurposed in ways consumers do not reasonably anticipate.
Client Alert: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Supposed to Reduce Risk. Why Does It Feel Like the Opposite?
Last month, I wrote about a question many general counsel are beginning to hear from business leadership: If our outside counsel is using AI, should our legal spend be going down? The response to that article confirmed something many legal leaders already know: AI has changed how legal work is done, but it has not simplified the expectations placed on legal departments.
Your Outside Counsel Is Using AI. Should Your Legal Spend Be Going Down?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become a routine part of legal work. Many outside law firms now use AI tools to support research, drafting, contract analysis, due diligence, and document organization. The shift has been fast enough that most legal departments did not ask for these tools but now must understand how they affect the work they receive. AI in legal work is no longer experimental or informal; it is becoming part of the operational fabric of many law firms and legal departments.

In mid‑September 2025, Anthropic's Threat Intelligence team reported detecting and disrupting what it assesses as the first large-scale cyber-espionage campaign orchestrated primarily by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system.
Digital Risk Report, November 2025 | JD Supra
Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) Effective 10/1/2025: The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA) went into effect on October 1, 2025. Data protection assessment requirements apply to processing activities created or generated after this date. Requirement to allow consumers to opt out of processing for purposes of targeted advertising or any sale through opt-out preference signals goes into effect.
"From Disclosure to Defense: A Strategic AI Governance Blueprint" | JD Supra
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a speculative frontier. It is embedded in the operational core of modern enterprises, ranging from customer service bots to predictive analytics. However, as AI systems scale, so do the risks. The challenge is no longer whether AI poses legal exposure but rather how to govern AI effectively before it becomes a liability.

As AI becomes a cornerstone of business strategy, companies acquiring AI assets must navigate a complex web of legal and operational risks. This article explores how hidden liabilities in AI models can impact merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions and how to mitigate them.
