Winston & Strawn Launches Artificial Intelligence Strategy Group

Chicago – January 24, 2024 – Winston & Strawn LLP is pleased to announce the launch of its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy Group. Consistent with Winston’s long-standing tradition of thought leadership on the intersection of law and technology, the group will be responsible for coordinating the full spectrum of transactional, litigation, regulatory, and counseling services across industries as it relates to the adoption and regulation of artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on generative AI.

The group features lawyers and technologists across all of Winston’s core practices with experience in both the application of AI in providing legal services and counseling clients on its use. The group will draw on this experience to monitor legal and technological developments in the AI landscape to help clients meet a wide range of needs, such as managing the shifting regulatory landscape, drafting policy and procedures, and handling novel causes of action presented through use of AI.

“The rapid evolution in AI presents unique legal and technological challenges for companies across all industries,” said partner John Rosenthal, chair of Winston’s eDiscovery and Information Governance Practice. “The group’s collective experience brings to bear an intimate understanding of how to realize AI’s promise while minimizing risks for our clients.”

The group also actively evaluates AI technologies for legal-specific use cases, including legal research, corporate due diligence, and predictive analytics, and will define Winston’s policies, procedures, and best practices to leverage AI and integrate it into business workflows, and provide education on AI’s benefits and risks.

“The AI Strategy Group will be examining AI technologies with an eye toward achieving our ultimate goal – delivering legal excellence and driving the best possible results for Winston’s clients,” said partner Krishnan Padmanabhan, co-chair of the Technology, Media and Telecom Industry Group.

“The advent of generative AI has spurred business leaders across industries to seek out reliable guidance on the technology’s business integration, as well as on the critical, emerging regulatory frameworks that support this innovation,” said Winston Chairman Tom Fitzgerald and Chair-Elect Steve D’Amore. “We’re excited to witness the real-world benefits that this new group and its deep bench of talent will bring to the firm and our clients.”
