Justin Pierce co-authored an article alongside Senior Industry Counsel Peter DiMattia and Technology/IP Counsel & Expert Zayd Alathari that was featured in the December 2025 edition of Insight, the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association’s (GPCA) monthly journal. The article, “The Stitching Framework: Integrating artificial intelligence into intellectual property, sustainability, environmental compliance and beyond,” is part of a special Annual GPCA Forum edition of the magazine. The following is an excerpt:

The Stitching Framework is an interdisciplinary methodology designed to operationalize artificial intelligence (AI) across corporate intellectual property (IP) management, sustainability innovation, and environmental, health, safety, and sustainability (EHSS) compliance, as well as other legal inquiries. It provides a map to a defensible, auditable process that links legal inquiry, contextual framing, stakeholder engagement, AI synthesis, and human validation. Inspired by the convergence of IP and environmental law research methodologies, the framework introduces a structured model for responsible AI use in legal and regulatory domains, bridging empirical data, ethical judgment, and institutional knowledge.
