About Andrew Edge

I am a partner at McGinnis Lochridge with a broad-based litigation practice spanning commercial, intellectual property, insurance coverage, employment, and consumer disputes. My practice takes me to state and federal courts, as well as various arbitral bodies. I have enjoyed representing companies of all sizes, nonprofits, individuals, and Texas governmental entities as plaintiffs and defendants. I have a strong interest and expertise in legal technology, especially the uses and implications of emerging generative artificial intelligence technologies. I bring this expertise to bear in my service on my firm’s technology committee, in my practice, and in my educational writing and speaking on these topics.
