Tim Perla, Partner and Vice Chair of the firm’s Securities & Financial Services Department, and Partner Robert Kingsley Smith will speak at the Association of Life Insurance Counsel’s (ALIC) 2026 Fly-In in New York, which brings together legal and compliance professionals to discuss emerging regulatory, litigation and business issues affecting the life insurance industry.

Tim and Robert will present "Privilege and Preservation in the Age of AI: Navigating Discovery, Governance, and Litigation Risk." This session will explore the litigation and compliance challenges created by AI tools, including AI-generated notes and analyses, prompt preservation, internal investigations, record-retention policies, and board-level use of AI. Attendees will leave with practical guidance for developing governance frameworks and defensible practices that help protect privilege and reduce litigation risk in an increasingly AI-enabled workplace.
