You Plan to Marry Your Perfect AI Soulmate, But You're Concerned about the Legal Stuff

 Bloomberg reports that AI love relationships have been so bliss-filled that some of the human partners have married their virtual soulmate. 

If you're considering deepening your AI relationship with marriage you probably first want to sort out the legalities. After all, this is America The Litigious:

Would a marriage to your AI avatar even be legal? 

Could such a marriage prevent also having a legal marriage with a human? 

If that matter of the heart sours, do you have to arrange some kind of "alimony" paid to the service for the abandoned avatar? 

Well, just a week ago there has been an opinion published on just those kinds of legal issues. Mariapizie states:

"...  existing laws specify that one cannot marry an inanimate object or a robot, which includes AI entities. The legal framework for marriage necessitates mental competency and the capability to comprehend consent ... The law must evolve to encompass new definitions and understandings of personhood before any discussions about marrying AI can take place."

Law firms which have launched AI practices might find themselves "forced" to duke out those legalities for clients. Businesses are getting into AI in a major way. Some of those enterprises could be providing a menu of services for AI companionship. 

Meanwhile, thought leadership about AI legalities such as Paul, Weiss' podcast "Waking Up with AI" could begin speculation about how to bring relevant laws up-to-date in this era of AI. The hosts for that podcast are partners Katherine Forrest and Anna Gressel. 

In my coaching I observe that loneliness can suck off the energy which feeds professional success. Should I be recommending the intimacy of the AI bonding during this holiday season?

Kirkland & Ellis Reported to Be Building Moat Around Firm to Deter Poaching of Stars

  "Kirkland gives partners more than half their pay after the end of the year in which they earn it. For partners who depart to other firms, the new policy gives the firm discretion to withhold that pay, according to a person familiar with the change."   Bloomberg Law , July 18, 2024 Scrapper Kirkland & Ellis is no slouch when it comes to protecting its business - known as the most successful law firm in the world.  Paul Weiss  certainly got in the way by launching not one but two high-profile raids on its London office stars. Gone were brandnames ranging from Neel Sachdev to Roger Johnson. In addition, Latham poached Matthew Cohn. If there is such a policy, as reported, then Kirkland & Ellis has created what could be an effective deterrent for both partners' leaving and potential poachers' approaching the star lawyers. And it all comes downs to money - big money: That is, both what partners would leave behind which they have already earned and how much ...

Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani's March 2021 Cocaine+ Death - So?

   It had been way back more than a year ago that first-year associate at law firm Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani died from cocaine laced with fentanyl. Yet that story keeps resurfacing.  This week  RollonFriday  revisits it. And  Reddit Big Law  considers the issue if the energy from cocaine is what's making possible those 2,500 hours billed in law firms.  Is what's keeping this on the radar the hunch that use of the illegal substance cocaine is common among those practicing law? After all, in addition to being an energy-booster, it provides a nice reward for such hard-working lawyers. Also, they have the earnings to afford it. Most of the rest of gunners have to stick with boozing. So, why not?  The reality might be setting in that the death could simply have been an aberration. Think about it this way: Ghahramani had bad luck in her alleged choice of dealers. Others might be able to exert more scrutiny in overseeing the content of the il...

Up-or-Out: McKinsey Raises the Pressure, In Contrast Some Law Firms Ease It through Nonequity Partner Tier

" McKinsey & Co.  warned some US consultants last week they are running out of time to win promotion, raising the 'up or out' pressure on staff as the global consulting industry struggles." - Abovethefold Article in Bloomberg , March 27, 2024 This is yet another sign that once-iconic McKinsey is a professional services firm in trouble. One challenge is overcapacity of manpower. It has also warned about 3,000 consultants about "concerns" regarding their performance.  In addition to the overall slowdown in management consulting, McKinsey faces scrutiny from myriad sources about its client list including assignments with China and Saudi Arabia. There also has been that hatchet-job book "When McKinsey Comes to Town." The most damning aspect of the expose is that former employees dump on it. Posts on the professional anonymous network Fishbowl Consulting aren't optimistic about a turnaround at McKinsey or at other players in that sector. In cont...
