What Happens When AI Agents Make Contracts? Bridget McCormack on LCP

What happens when AI agents start making contracts with other AI agents? In this episode of AI and the Future of Law, Jen Leonard and Bridget McCormack explore Legal Context Protocol, or LCP, a new open protocol designed to help legal terms become discoverable, verifiable, and connected to agentic transactions. They discuss why existing e-commerce legal infrastructure may not translate cleanly to a world where machines negotiate, accept terms, and complete transactions on behalf of people and businesses. Bridget explains how LCP could help create a reliable record of the legal terms governing a transaction, why agentic commerce raises new questions about contract formation and ratification, and why lawyers may be needed more—not less—as AI agents become part of commercial life. The conversation also covers Mythos and AI cybersecurity risk, deepfake documents, blockchain-backed verification, and what general counsel and law firm partners should be doing now. Topics covered: Legal Context Protocol and agentic commerce Contracts between AI agents Machine-readable legal terms Contract formation, authority, and ratification Mythos and AI cybersecurity risk Deepfake documents and document verification Why lawyers are needed in the next generation of commerce Subscribe for more on AI and the Future of Law Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more: AAA: https://www.adr.org/podcasts/ai-and-t...
