Buchalter Attorneys Co‑Author Colorado Chapter of the 2026 Chambers & Partners Data Protection & Privacy Guide

Daniel Pietragallo and Douglas DePeppe have co‑authored the “Trends and Developments” section of the Colorado chapter in the 2026 Chambers & Partners Data Protection & Privacy Global Practice Guide.

Their analysis outlines ongoing updates to the Colorado Privacy Act—including expanded protections for biometric, biological, and children’s data—and examines the landmark Colorado AI Act, the nation’s first comprehensive risk‑based AI governance law, which imposes extensive documentation, impact‑assessment, and anti‑discrimination obligations on developers and deployers of high‑risk AI systems. With enforcement expected to begin in 2026, and additional legislative refinements still underway, the authors emphasize that organizations operating in Colorado face rapidly evolving requirements and should proactively develop adaptable privacy and AI governance programs to mitigate regulatory and litigation risk.
