“Deal Lawyers Download” Podcast: AI’s Growing Role in M&A

In the latest edition of our Deal Lawyers Download podcast, Datasite’s Chief Marketing Officer Merlin Piscitelli joined me to discuss AI’s growing role in the M&A process.  Topics in this 16-minute podcast include:

– AI’s role as a force multiplier
– The strengths and limits of AI tools
– Balancing AI insights with professional judgment
– Managing the legal risks of AI adoption
– Building an effective “human-in-the-loop” model
– Where AI delivers the greatest value in M&A practice
– AI’s impact on due diligence and risk assessment
– How AI will reshape the M&A lawyer’s role

We’re always looking for new podcast content, so if you have something you’d like to talk about, please reach out to me at john@thecorporatecounsel.net or Meredith at mervine@ccrcorp.com. We’re wide open when it comes to topics – an interesting new judicial decision, other legal or market developments, best practices, war stories, tips on handling deal issues, interesting side gigs, or anything else you think might be of interest to the members of our community are all fair game.
