We help organizations capture AI’s value without losing sight of accountability, regulation, ownership, safety, or commercial risk.
AI is not merely a technology issue. It is an enterprise-risk issue that reaches operations, transactions, people, intellectual property, regulated decision-making, data, and trust.
Our practice brings together lawyers across the firm to help clients move forward—not slow them down—with advice grounded in the way AI is actually built, bought, deployed, and investigated.
What we do
From first inventory
to defensible adoption.
We advise hospitals, health systems, physician groups, MSOs, digital-health companies, healthcare vendors, and long-term care, behavioral health, and home-health providers.

Paul Wooten
A litigator, former financial-crimes prosecutor, and AI engineer advising clients at the intersection of law, risk, and deployed technology.
Paul represents clients in complex litigation, conducts sensitive internal investigations, and advises on the use of artificial intelligence. His AI counsel is informed by direct experience building systems for enterprise clients—and his litigation judgment by a decade investigating and prosecuting financial crime.
As a Legal Engineer at Norm AI, Paul designed AI agents that translated dense regulatory frameworks into machine-readable rule systems and produced outputs that could be reviewed, audited, and defended. Few lawyers advising on AI have engineered the systems themselves.
