Who We Serve
Counsel for the people building what comes next.
Our clients sit at the front edge of regulated technology — where the rules are still being written, and the answers can't wait.
Who We Serve
We partner with bold, future-facing leaders to solve complex tech policy challenges and advance responsible innovation. From high-growth companies to civic institutions, our clients are building the future and doing it with intention.
01
Tech Companies and AI Startups
Most emerging tech companies are moving fast without realizing how much regulatory exposure they already have. The FTC has active enforcement authority over AI systems right now. Products that touch hiring, lending, or benefits decisions carry real compliance obligations today. Novara helps companies understand what applies to them, build the governance infrastructure they need, and get ahead of compliance before investors or regulators force the conversation.02
Healthcare and Life Sciences
Healthcare AI operates at the most complex regulatory intersection of any sector. FDA oversight, HIPAA obligations, and civil rights requirements under Section 1557 all apply simultaneously. Most healthcare companies assume their vendor’s compliance covers them. It does not. Novara helps healthcare organizations map their independent obligations, assess vendor relationships, and build governance frameworks that hold up under scrutiny.03
Civic Institutions and Nonprofits
Civic organizations and nonprofits deploy AI in the highest stakes contexts of any sector — benefits eligibility, housing, child welfare, and community health. The populations they serve are often the most vulnerable to algorithmic harm. Novara builds right sized governance frameworks that work within resource constraints and keep mission and accountability obligations aligned.04
Financial Services and Fintech
Fintech companies often understand financial regulation but significantly underestimate their AI governance exposure. The CFPB requires specific explainable reasons when AI influences a credit or lending decision. The FTC has authority over algorithmic discrimination in financial products. State level regulations are adding another layer of complexity. Novara helps fintech companies navigate their AI compliance obligations and build governance frameworks that satisfy regulators and investors alike.Sectors
