- We’ve seen a marked increase in requests from companies looking for attorneys with real AI contracting experience. Often it’s because AI-specific terms are showing up in their contracts for the first time, and they’re looking for counsel who can help them navigate this new landscape. One clause in particular is worth understanding: indemnification for AI output. Legal commentary has increasingly…, Key negotiation points, Experienced attorneys advise that a few areas are worth focusing on when this clause comes up in negotiation. Scope should carve out customer misuse, modified prompts, and third-party data supplied by the customer. Caps should tie indemnification exposure to fees paid under the contract rather than leaving amounts open-ended. Mutuality is also worth raising. It’s reasonable to ask the customer to…, This post is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

- Bringing on interim or fractional counsel is a significant decision, and one worth approaching with real diligence. The attorney becomes an extension of your legal function, often during a period when the stakes are already elevated, like a leave, a hiring freeze, or a sudden surge in deal volume. Choosing the right provider matters as much as choosing the right attorney. Whichever provider you'…, How do you vet your attorneys?, Every provider will tell you they vet their attorneys carefully. The more useful question is what that actually means. Is it a resume screen and a conversation, or does it include substantive assessments and interviews conducted by people with real practicing experience? The answer tells you a lot about how consistent quality is likely to be across the roster. At FLEX, our attorneys go through a…, Who actually employs the attorney, and what does that mean for you?, Some providers structure attorneys as W-2 employees; others rely on independent contractors or a marketplace model where the attorney is essentially a free agent. This affects more than paperwork. It shapes who carries malpractice coverage and whether there’s institutional infrastructure behind things like conflict checks and confidentiality practices, or whether it falls solely on the individual…, What happens if the fit isn’t right?, Even with good vetting, fit issues happen. Ask what the replacement process actually looks like: how quickly can a new attorney be brought in, is there a cost to doing so, and is it a built-in part of the service or something you'll need to renegotiate. FLEX actively manages each engagement, so if an attorney isn't the right fit, our team works to identify a replacement quickly to keep momentum…, How is pricing structured, and how transparent is it upfront?, Pricing models vary. Some providers work purely hourly while others offer flat or quarterly block arrangements. Either can work, but you should be able to get a clear answer on how rates are set, particularly if pricing scales with an attorney's seniority or experience level. FLEX is upfront with clients about pricing for the type of engagement they're considering, with rates generally driven by…, What’s the bench depth in your specific practice area or industry?, Some legal needs are well served by a generalist attorney with broad tech or life sciences experience, while others call for someone with deeper specialization in a specific practice area. It’s worth asking a provider not only whether they have attorneys with the experience you need, but how they go about identifying and reaching out to them once a need arises. FLEX’s roster spans generalist…, The bottom line, None of these questions are complicated, but they’re easy to overlook when you’re moving quickly to fill a gap. Asking them upfront takes very little time and can save real friction later, regardless of which provider you choose. At FLEX, we typically walk clients through each of these points during our initial conversations, so even if you don’t think to ask, we’ve got you covered.
