Brad is a Partner and leads the global Digital Forensics and eDiscovery teams for our Discovery + Data Insights practice, based in San Francisco. He helps clients build managed services and repeatable workflows that improve consistency, predictability, governance, and cost control.
He works with multinational organizations – and outside counsel – across financial services, life sciences, consumer goods, insurance, energy, and big technology, where matters typically involve complex data environments, regulatory scrutiny, and material commercial risk.
Brad's clients are looking for high-confidence defensibility, often under tight deadlines and with large volumes of data spread across systems, devices, and geographies. Brad helps them to identify what matters, preserve it appropriately, and construct a clear, defensible plan. He also advises on using AI, machine learning and data analytics responsibly to accelerate insight, reduce time and cost, and improve decision making.
Recent engagements include:
- Delivering managed forensics and eDiscovery services to a leading US financial services company, supporting in-house and external counsel across preservation, collection, processing, hosting, analytics and production in regulatory and class action matters
- Supporting a large government corruption investigation in South America, involving hundreds of custodians and over 1,000 devices, including analysis of device activity and messaging data relevant to the investigation
- Leading numerous intellectual property theft and trade secret investigations in the US and China, overseeing teams and forensic analysis related to data exfiltration, deletion and other obfuscation, helping counsel move quickly from suspicion to defensible facts
Calm and decisive under pressure, Brad brings deep expertise in digital forensics, eDiscovery, and data-driven investigations. He has supported on matters in over 35 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Brad holds a BA in Film Studies from the University of California and a Postgraduate Certificate in E-Discovery Project Management from Bryan University. He is a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
