10 clients with targeted, experience-driven solutions. For Israeli founders entering or scaling in New York, success often depends on partnering with advisers who understand both legal systems and can bridge the Israeli and U.S. regulatory landscapes while offering pragmatic, commercially minded guidance aligned with business growth.” Tamar Gubins, Fox Rothschild: “Israeli founders often face challenges aligning U.S. corporate, tax, and employment structures with their existing Israeli entities. Understanding the expectations of U.S. investors — from Delaware incorporation to governance standards — is key. Early engagement with experienced cross-border counsel can prevent costly restructuring later and help founders present themselves as as ‘U.S.-ready’ from day one.” In a context where a Mamdani administration might amplify enforcement priorities at the city level, these comments underscore the importance of anticipating complexity rather than assuming continuity. AI, Data Privacy, and a Fragmented Compliance Landscape Julia Kadish, Sheppard Mullin: “The evolving patchwork of state AI and data privacy regulations are adding to the complexities and uncertainties that all businesses are facing. These laws are forcing founders to think beyond just launching a product or service and getting it afloat. From the outset, founders are having to consider AI and privacy compliance as not just a legal checkbox, but as part of the core business function. Strong data stewardship is more critical to many companies at a much earlier stage than we’ve seen historically. Missteps in how personal information is collected or used can cost more than just fines – they can break user trust and stall growth. Companies that are new and disruptive, that fit into critical infrastructure, or that have the ability to scale quickly through AI face just as many of the same cyber threats that blue-chip companies do, but often with less time and resources to invest into cybersecurity readiness.” Tobias Moon, Chapman: “State-specific privacy statutes and regulations are increasingly becoming moremore important to Israeli founders, making it more difficult to share consumers’ private information and easier for consumers to stop tracking consumers online. Because AI and data privacy regulations differ from state to state, it creates a patchwork of laws and increases compliance burdens and costs for companies.”
