Speed to Market: The Race for Digital Transformation

The In-house Lawyer’s Role in Business Innovation

Join us for the first webinar of our upcoming Digital Transformation information series.


Established companies and start-ups across sectors are inventing and reinventing products, customer experiences, and business models—and transforming the marketplace as a result. From autonomous vehicles to IoT devices to 3D printing, innovations are moving more quickly than the legislative, regulatory, and industry standards that govern them.


In-house counsel are being called upon to provide legal advice in uncharted territory at a time when speed is everything. With new innovation comes increased risk—from privacy and data security to product liability and safety. But navigating those risks can bring substantial rewards.


Law departments operating in the digital revolution are helping business leaders create innovative strategies that will bring new technologies to market rapidly. They are playing a dynamic role in helping to develop business architecture—far beyond legal advice—and they’re demonstrating how legal strategy can sharpen a company’s competitive edge and positively impact the bottom line.


Join us for a discussion of best practices in key areas, as well as a forecast of upcoming trends in the U.S. regulatory landscape. Also, sign up to receive our updates on our digital transformation information series, as we explore global trends and key developments throughout the coming months.

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
