Stay a move ahead. HNRK founding partner Fredric S. Newman urges lawyers to talk to clients before AI kicks down the door. 

In a probing book review of On Counsel’s Initiative: Mission-Critical Conversations on AI and Cybersecurity by Roland L. Trope and Fernand A. Lavallee, published earlier this week in the New York Law Journal, Newman posits:

“This book should be read by every lawyer who has clients, or wants to have clients, in the third decade of the 21st century. Trope and Lavallee advance the ambitious proposition that lawyers have an ethical and practical responsibility to help their clients prepare for the inevitable threats by AI and progeny to their business.”
