Speaker Bio
Gareth focuses on AI, information technology, strategic sourcing and intellectual property-driven transactions. Having been a specialist technology lawyer for over 20 years, Gareth developed a deep interest in AI technology around a decade ago, and Co-Chairs the firm’s Global AI Practice Group.

A self-confessed ‘techie’, he enjoys nothing more than advising on cutting edge technology transactions and getting to understand the core engineering. This includes the design and training of AI models, collection and use of data, and the increasing array of specialist hardware available to run these AIs more efficiently. Gareth’s practice is now strongly focussed on AI, and he has advised some of the most prominent names in AI on the US West Coast, several of the world’s biggest companies, and a number of high-profile open source AI projects across the Middle East and Europe.
