Hinshaw partner Cathy Mulrow-Peattie and associate Sabrina Janeiro will present a CLE webinar on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET, covering the legal obligations tied to artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data privacy. The program gives practicing attorneys a framework for handling vendor contracts, regulatory mandates, and enforcement risk as AI tools spread through heavily regulated sectors.
What the program covers
The webinar, titled "AI & the Legal Jedi: Mastering the Force of Emerging Tech Law," runs through CeriFi LegalEdge. It addresses three practical areas: applying compliance strategies for privacy and AI regulations, drafting AI-specific service agreements and breach response protocols, and assessing FTC and state enforcement trends around automated decision-making.
Attendees will work through how to define reasonable security obligations, meet new transparency mandates, and structure vendor liability provisions. The session is designed for lawyers who need to move past general awareness and into drafting and advising on these issues directly.
The presenters and firm
Mulrow-Peattie is a partner and Janeiro an associate at Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, a national firm with a reputation in insurance, financial services, and professional services litigation and compliance. Their combined experience spans regulatory defense and transactional work, which situates the presentation at the intersection of current enforcement and forward-looking contract drafting.
Why this matters for legal professionals
Regulators are no longer in wait-and-see mode on AI. The FTC has brought enforcement actions involving algorithmic decision-making, and state-level transparency rules are taking effect. Lawyers who handle vendor agreements, data breach response, or compliance programs now need working familiarity with AI-specific risk allocation. Programs like this one are a direct path to that capability. For attorneys looking to build deeper competence beyond a single CLE, AI for Legal Professionals Courses offer structured training on the same regulatory, privacy, and contract drafting topics.
