Artificial intelligence is transforming the way contracts are drafted, reviewed, negotiated, and managed. From generative AI tools that create and revise contract language to agentic systems capable of analyzing agreements and automating workflows, these technologies offer significant efficiencies while introducing new ethical, confidentiality, and compliance challenges for attorneys. As AI capabilities continue to advance, lawyers must understand how to supervise their use and manage the risks associated with third-party platforms and client data.

This CLE program examines the practical and ethical considerations involved in using AI-powered tools in contract practice. Participants will learn how to assess AI-related risks, conduct due diligence on technology vendors, safeguard confidential information, and develop governance practices that align with professional responsibility obligations. The program will also address evolving regulatory and security expectations, providing attorneys with practical strategies for maintaining compliance while effectively integrating AI into contract-related work.
