AI Contracts & Transactions

AI initiatives live or die by their contracts. Falcon Rappaport & Berkman's AI transactions team drafts and negotiates the agreements that govern how organizations build, buy, and deploy artificial intelligence, allocating risk around data rights, model performance, IP ownership, indemnification, and liability before problems arise.

The technology moves faster than standard form agreements. A contract drafted for ordinary software often ignores the questions that matter most for AI: who owns fine-tuned models and generated outputs, whether a vendor may train on your data, how accuracy and performance are warranted, and who bears the risk when a model produces a harmful or infringing result. We surface these issues early and resolve them in plain, enforceable language, so both sides know exactly what they agreed to and disputes are far less likely down the road.

• AI vendor, SaaS, and API license agreements
• Model training, data-licensing, and data-sharing terms
• Cloud, GPU/compute, and data center infrastructure contracts
• Professional services and AI development agreements
• IP ownership, indemnity, and liability allocation
• AI-focused M&A and technology due diligence

Whether you are a startup licensing a foundation model, an enterprise rolling out AI across operations, or an investor diligencing an AI target, we translate fast-moving technology into clear, enforceable terms. We pair deep transactional experience with genuine fluency in how these systems work, so your agreements address training data, output ownership, hallucination risk, and evolving regulation rather than boilerplate. The result is deals that move quickly and hold up later. Contact our AI practice to scope your next agreement or transaction.
