Identify and Manage Legal Risks in Your AI Systems
AI Risk Audits
Most companies don’t know which of their AI deployments are creating legal risk — not because they haven’t thought about it, but because AI legal risk doesn’t announce itself. It accumulates quietly in the gap between what an AI system is doing and what the law requires or prohibits. In the vendor agreement signed without reviewing the IP provisions. In the hiring tool that’s been running for two years without a disparate impact analysis. In the public statements about AI capabilities that were accurate when made and aren’t anymore.
An AI risk audit changes that. It’s a structured, attorney-client privileged review of your actual AI deployments against the actual applicable legal frameworks — with a prioritized output that tells you what to fix and why.
Risk Mitigation to Match the Unmatched Power of Generative AI
The audit covers regulatory mapping (which laws apply to which of your AI systems), IP ownership (who actually owns the outputs, and does the training data create infringement exposure), bias and discrimination risk (have systems used in high-stakes decisions been tested for disparate impact), vendor agreements (what liability did you inadvertently accept), and disclosure obligations (what are you required to tell regulators, investors, and customers about your AI use).
Audits run four to eight weeks depending on scope. They’re conducted under attorney-client privilege, protecting findings from discovery in later litigation. The output is a written report identifying risks by severity and likelihood, with a prioritized remediation plan. For companies facing an imminent regulatory inquiry or planning a significant new AI deployment, expedited timelines are available.
