Teresa M. Mayer

Teresa Mayer (Associate-Los Angeles, CA) authored “The Delicate Balance of Generative AI with the Duty of Confidentiality,” appearing in the April 9, 2026, edition of the Daily Journal. The article examines whether AI interactions and AI-generated materials – now increasingly embedded in litigation practice – are protected by the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. Teresa explores recent case law and provides practical guidance for litigators navigating these evolving risks, emphasizing the “need to understand where the privilege lines are drawn,” and noting “these decisions, all in quick succession, showcase that these new issues are quickly becoming litigation touchpoints for attorneys (and their clients) to be aware of in how they use AI platforms before and during representations.”
