- Early this year, Nixon Peabody hired partner Jason Hirsch to lead its newly formed AI, Digital Platforms & Emerging Technologies practice.
- The San Francisco-based partner formerly worked as the public policy manager at Meta.
- Tech startups increasingly need experienced AI counsel to avoid legal, regulatory and policy issues, Hirsch said.
Jason Hirsch left Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr for Meta—then Facebook—about six months after The Guardian and The New York Times broke the Cambridge Analytica story in April 2018. The scandal that ensued outlined how millions of Facebook users' data was misused without consent.
