Osler AI series: Evolving M&A approaches to AI transactions

Now on demand, you can watch the next module in Osler’s AI webinar series. This session examines AI transactions in light of how quickly the market, technology and regulatory landscape have evolved. Transactions involving AI companies are challenging many of the assumptions that underpin traditional M&A diligence and deal structures.

In this session, Osler partners Sam Ip, Technology, and Matthew Oliver, Corporate, explore how diligence in AI deals is shifting beyond software to focus on data rights, model development, training processes and AI governance.

The discussion highlights

• why traditional IP, privacy and contractual frameworks often fail to capture the most material risks in AI-driven businesses
• practical issues corporate lawyers should be aware of when advising on acquisitions or investments involving AI companies, whether on the buy or sell side
