AI Governance and Contracts
AI is deeply impacting all businesses. Gibson Counsel sets itself apart by integrating a deep knowledge of AI technology and its legal implications. We have spent considerable time working on AI and technology in regulated sectors. This isn't surface-level familiarity—we understand the technology, the regulatory landscape, and the unique legal questions that arise when businesses build with or implement AI. From contract provisions for generative AI services to IP protection for machine learning models, we help companies navigate legal complexity in the AI Era.

AI is moving fast and governance frameworks are struggling to keep up. Gibson Counsel helps companies build the internal structures, contractual protections, and compliance programs they need to deploy AI, internally and in their products, responsibly and competitively.
AI Governance Programs: Policy development, internal governance frameworks, and responsible AI initiatives tailored to your business model and risk profile. We help you build programs that satisfy enterprise customer requirements, investor scrutiny, and emerging regulatory expectations—without creating bureaucracy that slows your product team down.
AI Contracts & Negotiations: Drafting and negotiating agreements involving generative AI and machine learning such as API licenses, data processing agreements, SaaS terms, and vendor contracts. We address the provisions that matter most: data usage rights, model training restrictions, output ownership, liability allocation, and indemnification for AI-specific risks.
AI Procurement Playbooks: Structured guidance for evaluating and contracting with AI vendors and tools. We help you ask the right questions, identify contractual red flags, and build repeatable procurement processes that protect your business as your AI stack grows.
IP Counsel for AI & Machine Learning: Practical guidance on the IP issues unique to AI development such as training data rights, ownership of model outputs, copyrightability of AI-generated content, fair use analysis, and licensing frameworks for AI models.
Terms of Service & User Agreements: Drafting and updating standard terms for AI-powered products, including provisions addressing AI-specific risks, limitations of liability, and user obligations that reflect how your product works.
