Negotiating AI Clauses in 2026: What In-House Counsel Must Stop Missing

Artificial intelligence is transforming commercial relationships, but it is also creating entirely new contractual risks.

Join ACC Europe and Eversheds Sutherland for an interactive discussion exploring the clauses that are generating the most challenging negotiations between customers, vendors and technology providers in 2026.

As organisations continue to deploy AI across their operations, legal teams are increasingly being asked to advise on issues that traditional technology contracts were never designed to address. From liability and indemnities to data usage, model training rights, ownership of AI-generated outputs, transparency obligations and emerging regulatory requirements, the contractual landscape is evolving rapidly.

Following the discussion, join us for networking drinks to exchange experiences and continue the conversation with fellow in-house counsel and legal professionals from across Europe.
