Frantz Ward’s AI Enterprise Governance practice helps organizations build the legal architecture they need to deploy artificial intelligence safely, govern it responsibly, and manage the growing legal and regulatory exposure that AI integration creates. Our attorneys advise boards, executive teams, general counsel, and compliance officers across a range of industries on the governance frameworks, policies, agreements, and oversight structures that allow organizations to maximize the potential that AI tools present, while deploying them responsibly and managing the legal and regulatory risks they create.
This practice builds directly on Frantz Ward’s established Data Privacy and Cybersecurity practice. The organizations navigating AI governance today are the same clients who have long depended on us for data security counsel, breach response, and privacy compliance. AI governance is the next layer of that work, and it reaches every function of the enterprise.
Our experience includes advising on and preparing:
- AI governance policies and procedures
- Acceptable AI use policies and implementation
- Vendor and third-party AI agreements, including technical documentation, copyright compliance, and data disclosure requirements
- AI compute transaction agreements
- Board-level AI oversight frameworks and governance documentation
- Regulatory compliance counsel on federal and state AI obligations, including FTC enforcement posture and applicable state privacy law
- AI incident response planning
- AI output liability assessment across employment, copyright, and consumer protection frameworks
Frantz Ward attorneys stay current on the rapidly evolving federal and state regulatory environment governing AI, including guidance from the Federal Trade Commission, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the requirements of the EU AI Act as they affect U.S.-based organizations and their vendors.
