Built for Companies That Build
AI Counsel Desk is the practice of Martin S. Hui, an attorney and strategic advisor who has spent his career at the intersection of technology, commercial transactions, and product development.
This is not a general practice. It exists for a specific kind of client: startups, growth-stage technology companies, and in-house legal teams that need commercially fluent counsel who understands how AI products are actually built, sold, and deployed.
The work is hands-on — drafting and negotiating contracts, advising on product decisions with legal exposure, reviewing AI vendor relationships, and providing the kind of senior judgment that companies need before they can afford a full-time general counsel.
How Engagements Work
Structured for efficiency. Designed around how technology companies actually operate.
Understand the Business
Every engagement starts with your product, your market, and your priorities — not a legal checklist.
Advise with Precision
Clear, direct counsel that distinguishes real risk from noise. No hedging, no unnecessary complexity.
Execute and Deliver
Contracts drafted, negotiations closed, decisions made. Legal work that moves at the pace of your business.
