The Practice
AI law from an attorney
who governs AI in production.
Adam advises on AI governance from direct operational experience building and governing ALFRED OS. ALFRED OS is a proprietary AI operating system running 15 production agents with a full guardrails framework, governance documentation, and adversarial review protocols. The difference between advising from a textbook and advising from operational experience is the difference between understanding what an AI governance framework says and knowing what it costs when it fails.
Illinois is one of the most active AI-regulatory states in the country. BIPA has produced billions of dollars in class action liability. HB 3773 creates employer disclosure obligations that most Illinois businesses do not know exist. HB 4875 creates a private right of action for unauthorized AI-generated digital replicas. The Illinois AI Wellness Act and the broader federal AI policy landscape continue to evolve.
The AIGP credential from the International Association of Privacy Professionals represents a tested body of knowledge in AI governance, risk frameworks, technical standards, and regulatory compliance that translates directly into client counsel.
The practice covers the full AI legal lifecycle: vendor contracts, governance frameworks, employer compliance, and individual rights. Vendor contract review focuses on what the AI company is actually promising, where liability lives, and what the indemnification carve-outs eliminate.

Tech Law — beyond AI.
AI is a subset of technology law. Most clients who need AI counsel also need SaaS contracts reviewed, licensing terms negotiated, data privacy assessed under modern statutes, and vendor agreements stress-tested for risk allocation. Adam handles the whole layer.
SaaS & vendor contracts
Master service agreements, data processing addenda, SLAs, indemnification, IP ownership of derivative work, source-code escrow, exit and data-portability clauses. Adam reviews the contract you sign and the contract you sign your clients to.
IP & licensing
Software licensing (proprietary and open source), trademark licensing, patent licensing, content licensing for AI training, brand-use agreements, and joint-IP frameworks. Includes open-source compliance audits for downstream commercial use.
Data privacy beyond BIPA
CCPA/CPRA compliance for California-touching businesses, GDPR alignment for EU customers or employees, ISO/IEC 42001 alignment for AI-system governance, breach-notification frameworks across the patchwork of U.S. state privacy laws, and vendor data flows.
Technology business formation
Startup formation for AI and SaaS companies, IP assignment agreements that survive employee turnover, SAFE/convertible notes structured for technology companies, employee equity, and the founder agreements that prevent the disputes most founders find out about too late.
If a matter sits at the intersection of AI and traditional tech law — the AI vendor whose terms violate your privacy commitments, the AI feature whose training data raises licensing questions, the SaaS contract whose AI clause is silently broad — that intersection is where the firm operates.
Why Adam practices AI law
AIGP (AI Governance Professional) is an independent credential issued by IAPP — the International Association of Privacy Professionals — covering AI governance across privacy, employment, contracts, and emerging AI regulation. The credential is grounded in real statutes and operational frameworks (GDPR, U.S. state AI laws, ISO/IEC 42001), not vendor-specific tools.
Continuing AI education from Stanford Law CodeX, Harvard, Wharton, MIT, and Google AI programs keeps the practice at the frontier of where AI law is going, not just where it has been.
Multi-state license means Adam can advise Illinois employers with workforces in Wisconsin, New York, Texas, or Minnesota on the patchwork of state AI laws emerging across jurisdictions.
Former service on the Illinois ARDC Hearing Board is directly relevant for AI-ethics work — the same judgment that evaluated attorney conduct now helps clients design AI-governance frameworks that hold up to ethics review.
Why this practice is different at Lysinski & Associates P.C.
Adam holds the AIGP credential (Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional) from IAPP — the IAPP's professional certification specifically focused on responsible AI development, deployment, and governance. He combines that with Stanford Law CodeX, Harvard, Wharton, MIT, and Google AI executive programs.
As a former Illinois ARDC Hearing Board Judge, a former Illinois Licensed Managing Real Estate Broker, a Certified Mediator, Adam brings disciplinary-grade judgment to AI-governance work. Adam has obtained licenses in Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, Texas, Minnesota, D.C., and 7 federal courts* — covering the jurisdictions where most AI-employer compliance questions arise. AI law sits at the intersection of constitutional principles, evolving statutes, and operational realities — that intersection is where the firm operates.
