Our experts unpack some of the critical legal considerations to navigate the complexities of AI-related issues and disputes. The discussion touches on the current and future legal framework, some of the regulatory, enforcement and litigation risks associated with the use of AI including IP, AI washing, data and privacy, and consideration of how to insure against those risks.
In this episode of Going for Green on Real Estate Transactions, Nick Hew, a senior associate in the Real Estate practice at Herbert Smith Freehills, is joined by Carolyn Milligan, a partner in the same group, and Neal Scambler, a Corporate Real Estate Advisor. They discuss the current market trends and some of the key considerations regarding green lease provisions and how landlords and tenants can seek to achieve their ESG objectives by including tailored green lease provisions.

In this podcast, we talk about the role of the board, the OAIC’s enforcement approach and the Cyber Security Strategy, including the Commissioner’s view on the extortion demand ‘conundrum’. Commissioner Kind also offers some wise words on what it takes to be a good lawyer in the cyber space…courageous!
Commissioner Kind is a very impressive individual. She brings a very pragmatic perspective to the role and her personality is coming through in the OAIC’s approach and engagement.

Changes rarely happen in a vacuum. Adaptation in the workplace often occurs in many varying, but interconnected, ways, prompted by regulatory, legislative, and political changes as well as changes in societal expectations. In this Espresso Pod, we explore where our clients might experience some competing tensions in the workplace in the future, and how employers and employees alike must be ready to adapt. Recorded in collaboration with HSF's Global Bank Review.
