Data & Emerging Technologies Compliance
Businesses today face an increasingly complex web of regulatory obligations surrounding data governance, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and other emerging technologies essential to compete in innovation-driven markets. OBWB’s Data and Emerging Technologies Compliance Team helps clients navigate this dynamic environment with confidence.
Our team distinguishes itself from traditional “privacy and cybersecurity” practice groups by combining deep technical expertise with sophisticated legal analysis to deliver compliance strategies that are business-focused, technologically fluent, and forward-looking. Though we support information privacy compliance as a core component of data governance, our practice is defined by a broader, technology-centric approach that extends beyond conventional privacy frameworks.
Leveraging a team that includes seasoned intellectual property attorneys alongside Ph.D.-level experts in engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, physics, and related disciplines, we bring a unique and rigorous perspective to complex and evolving regulatory frameworks. Our technical depth enables us to engage directly with clients’ underlying technologies—whether artificial intelligence models, blockchain architectures, or data-intensive platforms—to translate regulatory requirements into implementable recommendations.
We advise companies of all sizes — from startups to established enterprises — across the full lifecycle of data collection, data use (e.g., in development of AI), and data retention, including compliance with applicable privacy and data protection obligations and the deployment of emerging technologies. Our work spans AI governance, algorithmic accountability, data sourcing and utilization, and compliance with evolving cryptocurrency and digital asset regulations. Our team is particularly well-positioned to assist organizations navigating ambiguous or rapidly developing legal regimes, where technical nuance and regulatory interpretation must align. Our teams combination of deep technical understanding, unbeaten legal insight, and an appreciation for the importance of intellectual property help our clients meet their customer’s and investor’s expectations of data security by implementing policies that meet current compliance standards and anticipate new regulatory developments. We help our clients identify, understand, and mitigate risk by providing guidance that builds internal confidence and external trust with their customers and partners.

- Data governance and gap assessment
- Privacy Policies
- AI lifecycle governance, risk analysis, and responsible use frameworks
