As artificial intelligence and robotics transition from experimental pilots to core components of facility operations, the commercial and legal frameworks governing these services are lagging behind.

Trascent and DLA Piper have partnered to examine the critical gap between technological capability and contractual readiness in Corporate Real Estate (CRE) and Facilities Management (FM). This initiative explores how leading organizations are adapting their governance, liability structures, and commercial models to accommodate a technology-enabled future.

Are Your CRE and FM Contracts Ready for AI and Robotics?

How AI is reshaping service delivery and commercial models in corporate real estate and facilities management

In this recorded session, leaders from Trascent and DLA Piper unpack the operational and legal realities of integrating AI and robotics into the CRE and FM environment.

Key Topics Addressed:

  • Technology-Enabled Service Delivery: How automation is reshaping the scope of work and shifting the value proposition from labor arbitrage to technology-driven outcomes.
  • Contractual Treatment of Automation: Identifying where traditional service level agreements (SLAs) fail to account for autonomous performance and machine-generated outputs.
  • Commercial Pricing Models: Moving away from headcount-based pricing toward output-based or outcome-based commercial structures that incentivize innovation.
  • Governance and Oversight: Establishing the right controls for data ownership, cybersecurity, and performance accountability in a highly automated ecosystem.
