Jeremy Malcolm
Tech-savvy New York attorney specializing in IP, Internet & AI law and policy
I am Jeremy Malcolm, a tech-savvy attorney who was admitted to the New York Bar in 2009. I offer legal services remotely, covering all areas of law with a particular focus on intellectual property, Internet, and AI law. My deep understanding of emerging technologies allows me to provide strategic guidance on complex legal issues that arise at the intersection of law and innovation. My practice includes copyright, trademarks, privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance in the digital landscape... but I thrive on the diversity of my practice, so yes I can also handle your divorce, will, or criminal defense.
I am adept at advising startups, creators, and tech companies, combining legal acumen with technical insight to deliver effective solutions in an evolving legal environment. I am also the founder of AskLex.ai, a unique AI-enabled online legal advice service that allows you to have AI legal answers reviewed by a real lawyer.
I was first admitted to practice law in Australia in 1996 and later in New York in 2009. I am the author of "Multi-Stakeholder Governance and the Internet Governance Forum" (2008), and I serve as the Chair of the Center for Online Safety and Liberty.

- Q. Can I be fined for posting AI-generated song lyrics on YouTube?
