Ben Perry is co-chair of Ogletree Deakins’ Cybersecurity & Privacy Practice Group and advises companies across industries on high-stakes data privacy, cybersecurity, and emerging AI regulatory issues. He helps clients navigate U.S. and international privacy frameworks—including the CCPA and forthcoming ADMT regulations, the Colorado AI Act, the EU AI Act, GDPR-style obligations, and the evolving patchwork of U.S. state privacy laws—with a focus on practical compliance aligned to business goals.
Ben counsels organizations through the full lifecycle of privacy and AI governance: designing compliant data and AI-driven products, developing privacy notices and data collection disclosures, structuring vendor and data processing agreements, advising on employee monitoring and workplace technology policies, and building defensible incident response programs and tabletop simulations. His work frequently involves advising on responsible deployment of AI systems in employment and consumer contexts, assessing automated decision-making risk, and operationalizing transparency and consent requirements into real-world workflows.
Ben has led clients through ransomware incidents, insider-threat breaches, and complex multi-jurisdiction notification events. He coordinates forensics, regulatory notification strategy, and communications under tight timelines—while positioning clients for potential litigation, regulatory review, and post-incident remediation.
On the litigation side, Ben defends businesses in privacy and technology-related disputes, including the federal Wiretap Act, the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), Pennsylvania’s Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act (WESCA), the Florida Security of Communications Act (FSCA), the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), and similar wiretapping claims stemming from website analytics, pixels, session-replay tools, and customer interaction tracking. He also represents companies in individual and class actions involving data breaches, biometric privacy, and alleged unlawful data collection. His dual compliance and litigation experience allows him to spot risk early, mitigate exposure before disputes arise, and pursue efficient resolutions when they do.
A frequent speaker on privacy, cybersecurity, and AI regulation, Ben also advises growing and venture-backed companies on scaling privacy and security programs that support innovation. His work prioritizes clarity over complexity and provides executives and technical teams with actionable guidance rather than dense legal theory.
Ben is certified by the International Association of Privacy Professionals as a CIPP/US and CIPP/E.
