OUR VISION
In a fragmented and fast-changing digital landscape, business success now depends on anticipating and managing regulatory complexity in real time.
From evolving AI and data regulations to extraterritorial laws, trade sanctions, and technology dependencies, these risks no longer sit on the sidelines: they define strategy, valuation, and market access.​ Mastering this ecosystem is not optional: it is a strategic imperative to enable growth and maintain trust.
​
At Goossaert Law, we believe emerging and frontier technologies require a new definition of legal risk management: a holistic, cross-market approach that connects compliance with business execution, anticipates regulatory shifts, and turns risk into a competitive advantage.
​
This is the value we bring: clear insights, practical solutions, and trusted counsel to help organizations scale confidently and future-proof their business models.
OUR SERVICES
​​​
We assist European and U.S. businesses and investors in securing deals, building brand value, and remaining compliant through actionable recommendations.
Our work spans from multi-layer and high-risk compliance assessments - covering AI, data, and E.U./U.S. privacy frameworks - to the design of data governance strategies that anticipates regulatory developments.
We also help organizations assess their exposure to extraterritorial legislation and data sovereignty risks, as well as vulnerabilities linked to dependencies on technology providers.
In addition to legal risk management, we support organizations throughout the commercial process, from RFQ preparation and contract negotiations to the drafting and finalization of agreements.

OUR CORE SERVICES INCLUDE
CROSS-BORDER PRIVACY & AI COMPLIANCE
Operating across the EU and the US requires navigating fundamentally different legal regimes. We support companies in this dual framework, including compliance (GDPR/CCPA, AI Act, DORA, NIS2, etc.), impact assessments, DPA negotiations, RFQ responses, data transfers, and incident response.
EXTERNAL DPO
FRANCE-USA
Start-ups and scale-ups often lack in-house AI and privacy expertise. Our monthly subscription model provides ongoing support to secure growth, with proactive monitoring of regulatory and litigation risks - delivered with clarity and simplicity.
STRATEGIC ADVISORY
& DUE DILIGENCE
Securing investments requires addressing AI, tech, and market risks. We help you anticipate AI-related litigation (bias, IP rights, contract review) and scalability challenges tied to regulatory compliance, conflicts of law, and data competition issues.
WHO WE ARE
Nicolas Goossaert, Founder
Admitted to the Paris Bar in 2018, I assist business leaders in safeguarding and maximizing the value of their intangible assets.
In this capacity, I served as external counsel and Data Protection Officer (DPO) for Europe's leading industrial vehicle rental group. I also guided a major banking institution through post-acquisition compliance obligations, and contributed to the international rollout of an e-health platform for a global NGO.
Holder of the CIPP/US and CIPP/E certifications from the International Association of Privacy Professionals, and member of the French-American Chambers of Commerce in New York and New England, I assist you with data privacy compliance challenges arising from your U.S. operations. In 2025, Goossaert Law also became an independent partner of Romano Law, a leading New York-based firm with a nationwide U.S. presence.
Alongside my advisory practice, I taught business law at INSEEC Business School. Author of several LexisNexis practical guides on digital law, I also contributed to Professor N’Dior's Dictionnaire de l’actualité internationale (Pedone editions).
A graduate of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University (International Economic Law) and the University of Oxford - Saïd Business School (Artificial Intelligence Programme), I work fluently in French and English.
