Legally Set

🚨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 , 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.

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 for having me. .co these pics 💕💕.

Here are 3 legal must-knows that could save you from major headaches (and lawsuits) down the road.
