Our Data Privacy Approach

Data — how it is collected, used, stored, and protected — is at the core of our practice. Within the United States, there is no single federal law that defines what it means to be compliant. On any given issue, as many as 50 different state regulations may apply. If you are an employer, operate a website or database that reaches a global audience, or collect consumer data in any form, you have both domestic and international legal responsibilities that demand attention.

A comprehensive data audit is the starting point. It identifies where your data resides, how it moves through your organization, and where gaps in compliance may exist. The result is a clear picture of your current risk profile and a practical roadmap for addressing it. From there, we work with you to embed privacy, security, and compliance principles directly into your data practices — building a structure that not only meets today's regulatory requirements but positions your business to adapt as those requirements change. The outcome is a defensible compliance posture, reduced exposure, and the confidence that comes from knowing your data practices rest on a sound legal and technical foundation.

Regulatory Compliance

The regulatory landscape governing data and technology is complex, constantly shifting, and increasingly global in scope — spanning HIPAA, GLBA, and state consumer privacy laws domestically, to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) internationally, along with frameworks affecting cloud and SaaS providers. We monitor and interpret these evolving directives so you can focus on running your business, providing ongoing guidance to help you anticipate regulatory changes, assess risk, and maintain a compliance posture that keeps pace with the law.

Technology Transactions and Contracts

We review, draft, and advise on technology contracts and complex transactions involving vendors, service providers, and technology platforms. Whether you are negotiating a SaaS agreement, structuring a technology licensing arrangement, or navigating a multifaceted vendor relationship, we bring both legal precision and practical technology insight to every engagement.

We also represent transnational corporations doing business in Africa and Europe, providing strategic counsel on cross-border legal obligations and working alongside established local firms in African jurisdictions. This combination of international reach and on-the-ground relationships allows us to help clients operate confidently across borders.

Our Team

Idaye Braimah, Principal Attorney

For over two decades, Idaye has practiced law across transnational jurisdictions, advising clients on complex legal matters, litigation, and transactions at the intersection of law and technology. His career spans both the legal and technology sectors — including significant tenure at a major Wall Street investment bank, where he managed, designed, built, and integrated in-house and third-party software applications and platforms. This hands-on technical experience, rare among practicing attorneys, is central to the firm's ability to deliver practical, informed counsel on the issues that matter most to technology-driven businesses.

Idaye advises multinational corporations on global data privacy and technology regulations, cybersecurity, operational resilience, and compliance implementation. Most recently, he completed a two-year engagement with a major global financial institution, leading the implementation of the European Union's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) — from initial gap analysis and framework design through incident management protocols and regulator interactions. This experience reflects the depth of engagement he brings to every client relationship: not just legal analysis, but hands-on execution from strategy through implementation.

His core competencies span technology, software, data privacy, AI governance, regulatory compliance, risk management, operational resilience, and contract negotiation. Idaye is a certified member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and holds memberships in the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) and the Nigerian Bar Association. He also maintains professional certifications in technology and software development — credentials that reinforce the bridge between legal expertise and technical fluency that defines this practice. Beyond his professional work, Idaye is actively engaged in civic leadership and pro bono service in his community.
