- Draft and negotiate technology, data, and AI vendor agreements, including data and model licensing terms.
- Advise on digital accessibility compliance for product and engineering (e.g., ADA Title III risk, WCAG conformance) and counsel teams on accessible design before launch.
- Partner with the General Counsel and business teams on regulatory risk assessments for new markets, products, and features.
