Lena Ghamrawi — Co-Founder
I’m a nontraditional, award-winning privacy lawyer with experience developing privacy programs, shaping policy initiatives, and conducting investigations. I’ve advised Fortune 500 companies, tech startups, members of Congress, US federal agencies, universities, and everything in between. In 2026 I founded The Privacy Counsel, a solo law firm focused on offering fractional privacy counsel services (learn more at theprivacycounsel.com). I'm also a first-gen lawyer and proud daughter of immigrants, which is why I advocate for greater diversity in the field. Licensed in California and Maryland.
