A newly launched Charleston law firm will focus on a growing tech industry.

Britt Law, a new corporate and technology law firm, has launched in Charleston, with a special focus on artificial intelligence and data privacy for companies of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500 businesses, according to a news release. Led by attorney Steve Britt, the firm opens its doors amid a roll-out of AI and data privacy laws, including the EU AI Act, 23 state data privacy laws, three consumer health data laws and four state AI laws.

“In today’s rapidly advancing data management landscape, the need for robust data privacy and AI compliance expertise has never been more critical,” Britt said in the release. “I started this firm because I recognized the unique and urgent challenges businesses face as they navigate a world increasingly reliant on data in the face of an explosion of laws and regulations seeking to regulate it.”

Britt Law brings extensive experience in these areas, adding to his deep knowledge of software, SaaS and cloud licensing experience, according to the release. Britt holds three certifications from the International Association of Privacy Professionals, including the AIGP (Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional), CIPP/E (Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe), and CIPM (Certified Information Privacy Manager). Britt is the only attorney in Charleston with these accreditations, the release stated.

Before founding Britt Law, Steve served as counsel for Cyber, Data Privacy & Technology at Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP in Charlotte. He also served as a partner at Berenzweig Leonard, LP, and Leach Travell Britt PC (now Hirschler LLP) in Northern Virginia. Britt is licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia, Virginia and South Carolina.
