03 October 2018 | Webinar

Artificial intelligence is becoming an essential part of cross-border deals due to the increasing volume of data involved and requires that leaders look for innovative ways to create efficiencies within the deal process. However, artificial intelligence can also create various legal risks if not used properly during cross-border transactions, and attorneys need to understand where both the risks and opportunities lie for today and tomorrow.

In this 60-minute webinar, panelists discussed what artificial intelligence means in the context of cross-border deals, and why practitioners should look to this emerging technology to streamline their deals process. Our panelists also discussed the key risks that could arise when implementing artificial intelligence and offer strategies for minimizing risk and effectively harnessing technology for success in cross-border deals.
