Charleston, SC – Exciting things are happening in the world of corporate law right here in Charleston!

Whether you run a small startup or your company is part of the Fortune 500, Britt Law is stepping up to help navigate the complexities of today’s tech-heavy landscape.
A Focus on a Booming Industry
Why the focus on AI and data privacy? Well, simply put, we live in an era where data is everything, and laws governing how that data can be used are becoming more stringent by the day. In fact, there’s been a flurry of regulations recently, including the EU AI Act and a series of state-specific data privacy laws. As businesses juggle increasing responsibilities, the expertise offered by firms like Britt Law becomes invaluable.
Steve Britt, the firm’s founder, expressed his commitment to helping businesses with this urgent challenge. “In today’s rapidly advancing data management landscape, the need for robust data privacy and AI compliance expertise has never been more critical,” he said. This sentiment reflects the rapid pace of change in technology and the law, and it indicates that Britt Law is perfectly positioned to guide clients through these tumultuous waters.

With over 25 years of deep experience in technology law, Steve has previously served as counsel at Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP in Charlotte and held positions at various prestigious firms in Northern Virginia.
Navigating Complexity
As AI technology continues to evolve, so do the myriad laws and regulations surrounding its use.
