Helping clients with AI.​

George helps clients navigate the fast-moving legal landscape surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), from regulatory compliance and risk management to the practical questions that arise when AI is built into products, operations, and decision-making. He reviews and negotiates contracts involving AI technologies — vendor and licensing agreements, data rights, and allocation of liability — and advises on AI governance, internal use policies, and the intersection of AI with data privacy and intellectual property. George also counsels clients on the ethical and professional dimensions of AI use and helps them stay current with evolving law on automated decision-making, algorithmic bias, transparency, and emerging state and federal regulation.

Helping clients with data-center development.

George also advises clients on a full range of legal issues surrounding data center projects. On the regulatory side, he advises on matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC), including interconnection, tariff and special-contract issues, and related jurisdictional questions raised by on-site and behind-the-meter generation and co-location with existing power plants. He also advises on permitting and compliance in connection with matters under the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), including emerging issues unique to data-center development such as required approvals for on-site and backup generation, water supply and discharge, stormwater management, and local land-use and zoning issues. George also handles the property and transactional side, advising on site acquisition, surface leases, easements and rights-of-way, power purchase agreements, energy supply and procurement arrangements, on-site generation contracts, and construction and commercial agreements that bring these projects online.
