Few attorneys understand code or have experience developing apps and managing software projects. Rushing McCarl’s partner Ryan McCarl is a former technology entrepreneur and software coder who spent two years as an artificial intelligence research fellow at the UCLA School of Law. Rushing McCarl is uniquely positioned to help businesses navigate disputes and mitigate risks involving AI, data privacy, and trade secrets. The Firm also uses cutting-edge legal research and document analysis tools that help us outmaneuver opponents in complex litigation.
Rushing McCarl’s understanding of AI can also wreak havoc with opponents’ legal strategies. McCarl’s fluency in the language of software and startups allows us to challenge opponents’ expert witnesses and expose flimsy intellectual property claims.
Rushing McCarl also filed one of the earliest cryptocurrency fraud cases: the matter of Chavez v. Jordan- Jones, Case No. 22STCV12216 (Los Angeles Superior Court, filed Apr. 12, 2022). Chavez and Rushing McCarl were featured in a Forbes article about the defendant, Jeremy Jordan-Jones. The Firm wrote a powerful complaint filled with compelling visual aids and advanced a creative argument based on California’s civil theft statute. As a result, we were able to obtain a default judgment exceeding $500,000 for our client while raising awareness of blockchain-related scams.
If you are involved in a tech-related dispute or need help navigating the ever-changing landscape of regulatory and legal risks relating to AI and data privacy, you need attorneys who understand code. Contact us to let us know how we might be able to help.
