Jackson Lewis Launches Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Group and AI Resource Hub

NEW YORK (Sept. 21, 2026) — National employment law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. is launching today its Artificial Intelligence and Innovation group, led by Principals Eric J. Felsberg and Joseph J. Lazzarotti, and a new client-facing AI Resource Hub. Together, the group and Hub provide organizations with coordinated legal counsel and timely resources to help them evaluate, govern, implement and manage AI across the workplace.

“AI is reshaping how organizations make decisions, manage their workforces and operate their businesses, and the related legal issues rarely fall within a single discipline,” said Ryan P. Lessmann, national practice head of the firm’s specialty groups. “We are giving employers a clear entry point for the counsel and information they need to manage risks in adopting and deploying AI responsibly by pairing a dedicated, multidisciplinary practice group with a centralized client resource.”

The multidisciplinary group counsels employers throughout the AI lifecycle, from evaluating and procuring technology through implementation and ongoing compliance. It helps organizations establish governance and internal controls, assess automated decision-making tools, address privacy and cybersecurity, data governance, vendor contracts, bias and validation assessments. The group also represents employers in AI-related investigations and litigation.

The AI Resource Hub complements the group’s legal services by bringing together Jackson Lewis’ timely guidance on evolving federal, state, and local requirements, AI regulation, governance, bias, privacy and cybersecurity in one accessible location. The Hub features articles, podcasts, reports, webinars, videos and data-driven resources to help employers identify emerging issues, assess risk and find relevant guidance more efficiently. 

“Organizations need more than answers to isolated legal questions,” Eric and Joe said in a joint statement. “They need practical guidance that accounts for how AI governance, workplace compliance, privacy, cybersecurity and data risks intersect. By bringing these capabilities and resources together, we can help clients identify issues earlier, establish effective safeguards and integrate AI into their organizations with greater confidence.”
