Ken Sterling is a top attorney, strategic dealmaker and USC Law School professor at the intersection of business, media, and technology. His law practice focuses on AI, corporate law, business growth transactions, and litigation strategy. Known for his real-world business experiences and unique dealmaking acumen, Ken helps his clients move forward with growth-oriented legal strategy, rather than slowing their innovation with over compliance.
