Data, Privacy & AI Compliance

Modern, technology-enabled counsel for AI startups and regulated companies.

Chen & Foundry helps AI startups and regulated companies operationalize privacy and AI compliance under GDPR, CCPA, the EU AI Act, and expanding global and U.S. state privacy and AI compliance regimes. By embedding legal counsel directly into product workflows, we give your team just-in-time interpretation, defensible documentation, and audit-ready answers for customers and regulators.

What Chen & Foundry is

Chen & Foundry is a law firm of Counsel-Operators: lawyers who build the privacy and AI compliance systems a team runs every day, documented, defensible, and built to last.

The problem we solve

The regulatory surface is expanding and evolving faster than most companies' review cycles. Privacy, national security, and AI laws are developing quickly and enforcement is accelerating. The unaddressed need for expert legal interpretation to provide just-in-time compliance specifications creates missed opportunity and liability.

In one year alone, eight U.S. states enacted privacy laws.
Cross-border data transfers are increasingly restricted with criminal implications.
Product teams lack counsel embedded in operationalized data compliance programs.

How we are different

A lawyer is accountable for the advice they give and will defend it to a regulator. Our work can be complementary to data discovery, organization, and risk-scoring tools, but the legal expertise and accountability required to explain to your customers how your product's data usage is compliant with emerging law, or the legal analysis required to satisfy regulators on legitimate interest assessments for sensitive data processing, is what pure technology firms cannot offer.
