In their words

What counsel say

Trusted by the lawyers, boards, and courts who turn to us when the technical facts decide the outcome.

  • When the board needed answers fast, they ran the internal investigation cleanly — followed the digital trail, preserved everything, and gave us findings we could act on and defend.

  • Their examiners reconstructed exactly how our trade secrets left the building, and it held up when their expert testified — the opinions survived cross because the analysis was rigorous.

  • Facing an SEC inquiry, we needed an expert who could explain the trading data to regulators and, if it came to it, to a court. They were precise, measured, and never overstated the evidence.

Hyperlinks, Short Messages, and Generative AI: What James v. Cerebras Systems Demands of Your ESI Protocol

In James v. Cerebras Systems Inc., the Northern District of California entered a single stipulated ESI protocol governing cloud-hosted hyperlinked documents, short message data, and generative AI workflows — the first order to combine modern-attachment handling with explicit AI-governance obligations. In-house counsel and litigators operating under legacy ESI protocols should treat this ruling as a checklist-level prompt for immediate review.
