Legally Set Contracts

📣 LIVE Session - Tuesday, April 21, Tech & AI for Marketing 📣 Conversation and Q&A: 'Legal Considerations of AI' with Attorney Kunbi Odubogun @kunbiesq @legallyset AI may seem like the wild Wild West -- but there are definitely some legal precedents being set currently that will govern its use, and small wedding businesses definitely need to keep them in mind. We'll chat with Attorney Kunbi Odubogun all about this new frontier of legal considerations with AI. She'll be available for Q&A as well (for general questions as remember Kunbi is a lawyer, but not YOUR lawyer). The @weddingsummitseries TECH & AI Edition is FREE 💰🚫🎉 All you need to do is claim your free ticket at the link in bio and you’ll get all the info to your inbox.

🚨Your AI conversations just became court evidence. Last week I had the privilege of sharing my general thoughts on legal considerations in the Age of AI at @wipanyc , and this week we got our first major federal ruling on exactly this issue. In United States v. Heppner, Judge Rakoff in SDNY ruled that AI-generated documents shared with attorneys are not protected by attorney-client privilege. A CEO used Claude AI for legal research after receiving a subpoena, created 31 documents with his prompts and AI responses, then shared them with his defense team. When the FBI seized his devices, those AI documents became prosecution evidence. Here’s what event professionals, creatives, coaches, and startup founders need to know: This wasn’t a blanket ruling against all AI use as the court specifically addressed consumer AI with terms that permit government disclosure and disclaim confidentiality but it definitely sheds light on the court’s thought process. Your daily AI usage creates potential evidence. Contract drafts, client communication templates, business strategy docs, vendor negotiations - anything you put into consumer AI platforms could become discoverable in litigation or investigations. You also should watch and vet meeting note takers as well because there is a blind spot. Your Zoom AI Companion, Otter.ai, or Teams Copilot might be capturing privileged conversations by default. That strategy session with counsel could already be transcribed and stored on third-party servers. Your contracts need updating. If your confidentiality clauses say “no sharing with third parties” but you or your vendors use AI tools, there could be compliance questions worth discussing with counsel. The legal landscape is evolving faster than doctrine can keep up, but cases like Heppner give us crucial guidance. This is less about avoiding AI and more about using it strategically within a framework that protects your business. Technology evolves faster than legal clarity, but knowledge is power. #AILaw #AttorneyClientPrivilege #SmallBusiness #LegalTech Weddingpro *This is for general and informational purposes only, not intended to be taken as legal advice*

“Those who can’t, teach.” Not true. Not even close. The best teachers and speakers I know aren’t people who *couldn’t* do the work — they’re the ones who’ve mastered it so deeply they can show others how. It takes clarity. It takes patience. It takes emotional intelligence. Some can do it but can’t explain it. Some can explain it but have never done it under pressure. The rare few? They can do both. Teaching isn’t the fallback lane. It’s the mastery lane. Thank you @wipacincinnati for having me! Thanks for closing out my speaker year in such a warm, hospitable way.

So happy to have lent my legal brain to a week of real, honest conversations about what’s shaping one of my favorite industries— events and hospitality. From contracts and protection to the rise of AI and how it’s transforming the way pros create, collaborate, and show up in business 😍. My brain is still buzzing. What I love most about this industry is the brilliance behind the beauty — the creativity, strategy, and heart that go into building experiences people never forget. And the biggest reminder from this week? The best businesses aren’t just creative — they’re intentional, protected, and ready for what’s next. Grateful for every conversation and every pro raising the bar for this incredible industry. It is an honor to support them legally. Thank you @joinfreeda for curating such thoughtful discussions, and @engagesummits for another phenomenal retreat. I left inspired. #becauseofengage 📸 @mikecassimatis @markyeattes @laurenfair @nikkidaskalakis 💕💕💕 #kunbispeaks

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately from fellow professionals about how to start speaking professionally—not just doing the occasional panel, but actually building a speaking career. Here’s what I’d tell anyone ready to get serious about it: 1. Figure out what you want to talk about—and why it matters. Not what you could talk about. What do you care enough to keep showing up for? Start by making a list of every topic you’ve lived through, helped others navigate, or felt deeply about. Then break those into subtopics. Don’t stop at “business” or “women’s empowerment.” Go deeper. “Helping creatives understand contracts.” “Rebuilding after burnout.” “Making legal feel human.” This step isn’t for the audience—it’s for you. 2. Get clear on who you want to speak to. Who do you feel called to pour into? First-gens figuring it out? Women pivoting at 40? Startup teams? Be honest. The more clearly you define your audience, the more naturally your message will resonate—and the easier it’ll be to find the right rooms. 3. Start where you are. Don’t wait for a big conference. Speak at a community event, guest on a podcast, Do a couple Face-Front posts on Instagram , join a panel, or host your own workshop. Every rep is practice, every room is a door. 4. Write your speaker bio + talk titles. Just one paragraph: who you are, what you speak on, and 2–3 talk titles that reflect your voice. You don’t need a whole deck—just something that helps people imagine you on their stage. 5. Let people know. Add “speaker” to your bio. Share what you want to speak about. Post. Email. Text your old boss or that friend in leadership. People won’t know to call you unless you make it clear that you’re available—and ready. You don’t need a whole lot to get started. You just need clarity. Hope this helps 💕 Thinking about speaking? Let me know what you’d love to talk about. I’d love to hear. Thank you @wipanebraska for having me. @jessielee.co these pics 💕💕.
