DLA Piper Partner Gareth Stokes focuses on AI, information technology, strategic sourcing and intellectual property-driven transactions. Gareth is part of the leadership team for DLA Piper’s global AI practice group. He enjoys nothing more than advising on cutting-edge technology transactions. 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. In a ubiquitously connected world, technology issues are more often global rather than local, and the largest projects tend to involve innovative contractual structures. Gareth has extensive experience with complex contracting, including joint venture arrangements, multi-level framework and call off structures, trust arrangements and other multi-contract arrangements.
