Tech Contracts Master Classes™ Agenda

In four online Tech Contracts Master Classes™ we cover all the essential topics in IT contracts, with live Q&A (students’ written questions, submitted via the chat feature) with our presenter, David Tollen. And, we’ve added new content about AI contracts: Wondering about IP rights in outputs, training data and prompts? Liability for errors (“hallucinations”), infringement, and misuse of private information? Join David Tollen to explore these and other key tech contracting topics (see below).
