Claudia Lin advises clients on complex technology transactions involving artificial intelligence and machine learning, agentic AI systems, cloud and infrastructure services, and other emerging technologies. She has deep experience drafting and negotiating data and content agreements for AI model development and for the inclusion of content in model outputs, as well as customer and partner agreements for AI-enabled products and services and advises clients across both upstream model development and downstream commercialization. She also structures and negotiates complex, multiparty transactions involving AI platforms, infrastructure providers, data center operators, compute providers, and hyperscale cloud platforms. She regularly advises clients in regulated industries, including financial services and healthcare.
Claudia takes a practical and solutions-oriented approach to counseling clients on legal issues across the AI lifecycle, including compute procurement and provisioning, data collection, model development and training, abuse monitoring and related classifier systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model deployment, and the launch of agentic AI systems. She also advises on responsible AI governance frameworks, downstream risks associated with model outputs, and legal strategies that support both consumer and enterprise adoption of AI-enabled products and services. She prioritizes working with clients in a frictionless, business-oriented way and serving as an integrated part of their broader legal and commercial team. Where appropriate, she works with clients to leverage AI tools to develop systematic and repeatable solutions that improve efficiency, promote consistency, and reduce the risk of issues being overlooked.
