Practical counsel for AI & open source.

Counsel at the seam between law and technology. For when you need someone who understands how the business, legal, and engineering questions intersect; who can read the code, draft the license, and tell you which risks actually matter.

AI Governance

AI governance transforms the unpredictable nature of probabilistic, opaque models into a manageable business risk. It moves beyond reactive tracking of technical and legal shifts; instead, it embeds compliance into the system’s architecture. This ensures that every deployment aligns with policy and remains legally defensible through structural safeguards.

Open Source

Effective open source governance treats community-driven code as a strategic asset. On the defense, it secures the supply chain and automates license compliance to eliminate "hidden" legal and technical debt. On the offense, a high-functioning OSPO turns open source participation into engineering leverage and faster time-to-market.
