Nana-Kwabena Abrefah
Nana-Kwabena regularly partners with organizations to craft tailored approaches to key privacy laws, including omnibus state consumer privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA); issue-specific state privacy laws, like Washington’s My Health My Data Act; and state and federal consent standards for data processing. He supports clients as they pursue priority initiatives—such as launching new products, expanding data-driven research, strengthening internal privacy and security programs, and incorporating new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI).
Nana-Kwabena has guided clients through data security incidents of various scales to minimize regulatory scrutiny, including by assessing risk and legal exposure, advising on notification requirements under state and federal laws, and coordinating breach response efforts. He also counsels on the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) unfair or deceptive acts and practices (UDAP) authority and advocacy efforts before state and federal policymakers, like the FTC and state legislatures.
