AI Lawyer for Companies Using Artificial Intelligence

AI Governance and Advisory

John Martino leads our artificial intelligence practice, representing companies on the legal questions that come with building AI into a product or putting it to work inside a business. He spent nearly two decades in enterprise technology, selling data infrastructure and negotiating the agreements behind it, and more recently sold AI tools and AI development services. He has built multiple AI products of his own.

Employees Using AI Tools at Work

We draft AI use policies covering which tools are approved, what may be entered into them, and how outputs are reviewed. We also handle the approval process for new tools and the employee and contractor agreement language that supports the policy.

AI Vendor and Software Agreements

We handle AI contract review and negotiation, addenda to existing software agreements, and the AI terms in supplier contracts. That includes whether a vendor may train on your data, who owns what the system produces, what happens to your data when the contract ends, and what the vendor will stand behind.

AI Used in Hiring and Other Major Decisions

We advise companies whose hiring, screening, pricing, or eligibility processes rely on automated decision-making tools, including tools provided by a vendor rather than built in house. That work covers the notices given, how human review is handled, and the documentation the company keeps.

AI Features in Your Own Product

We represent software and technology companies on the customer agreements, disclosures, and terms of service that go with an AI product, including what the company says the system does, what rights customers have in the output, and what the company will and will not guarantee.

Customer and Investor Questions About Your AI

We help companies put AI governance in place and handle the questionnaires, diligence requests, and contract representations that come with enterprise customer and investor review.

AI Compliance Across Jurisdictions

We advise companies operating outside New Jersey on which AI requirements apply where they do business, and on building one set of practices rather than a separate approach for each jurisdiction.

Why Choose Our AI Governance Practice

John Martino came to this practice from inside the technology industry. He spent nearly two decades in enterprise technology selling data infrastructure, more recently sold AI tools and AI development services, and has built multiple AI products of his own, working directly with language model platforms and third-party interfaces. That background shapes the questions he asks on a client's behalf, including what a vendor is actually doing with the data it collects and what its contract actually permits. It also makes a vague answer easy to spot.
