Quarles Adds AI and Data Governance Partner Megan Bowman to Minneapolis Office

The national law firm of Quarles & Brady today announced that Megan Bowman has joined the firm’s Minneapolis office as a partner in the Intellectual Property Practice Group.

Bowman advises on the full artificial intelligence (AI) lifecycle, from conception and development through deployment, commercialization and exit. She counsels clients on all aspects of AI development, procurement and deployment, including training data rights and provenance, licensing and ownership, consumer protection compliance, and AI governance frameworks and internal controls. Bowman’s practice also encompasses technology transactions and data privacy, where she advises clients on the legal and business considerations associated with developing, acquiring, licensing and using technology and data.

“As AI becomes increasingly central to how businesses operate, our clients need practical counsel who understands the technology and associated legal risks,” said Rory Foster, national chair of the Intellectual Property Practice Group. “Megan is a strategic AI and data governance attorney who brings a sophisticated understanding of these challenges. We are thrilled to welcome Megan and know she will be an important asset to the firm.”

Bowman received her J.D. from the University of St. Thomas School of Law and her B.A. from DePaul University. She is an Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) and a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US) through the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

“I’m excited to join a deep and experienced team while also having the reach of a national platform,” said Bowman. “These strengths of Quarles will enable me to bring together the right people and perspectives to meet my clients’ needs.”
