About Me

I am the Founder and Managing Partner of Law & Forensics LLC, a boutique firm specializing in cybersecurity, digital forensics, and e-discovery. With over two decades of experience and advanced degrees in Computer Science, I have dedicated my career to addressing complex technical challenges in litigation, arbitration, and cybersecurity. My expertise encompasses technical investigations, compliance, and dispute resolution, and I have served as a forensic neutral and expert witness in high-stakes cases.

In addition to my legal and technical roles, I have successfully built and sold multiple technology startups, gaining invaluable experience in developing and scaling innovative companies. This entrepreneurial journey has provided me with a deep understanding of the technical, operational, and strategic challenges organizations face in today’s fast-paced technology landscape. My work is centered on helping companies drive innovation while managing risks in complex and highly regulated environments.

At Zeichner Ellman & Krause LLP (ZEK), I co-head the Cybersecurity Practice and coordinate the firm’s privacy, forensics, and e-discovery practices. My role involves providing comprehensive assistance to clients before, during, and after cybersecurity incidents. This includes developing and implementing effective responses to cyberattacks, such as data breach notifications, incident response plans, and crisis management counseling. Leveraging my technical background, I work closely with clients to prevent incidents, gain clarity during breaches, respond to litigation, and reduce overall cybersecurity liability.

As a mediator, arbitrator, and Special Master with JAMS, I have contributed to hundreds of cases in state and federal courts, resolving disputes involving complex e-discovery, cybersecurity, and digital forensic issues. My ability to bridge technical complexities and legal nuances has made me a trusted resource for resolving disputes and achieving successful outcomes in highly technical matters.

Education and knowledge-sharing are integral to my professional ethos. I serve as Adjunct Faculty at Harvard University and have previously taught at Rutgers School of Law, Cardozo Law School, and U. Conn. Law School. I have conducted over 300 seminars and webinars, training judges, attorneys, CISOs, and executives worldwide. My teaching focuses on distilling complex technical issues into clear, actionable insights for legal and business professionals.

Whether collaborating with clients, advising organizations, teaching, or resolving disputes, I am dedicated to providing technical clarity, innovative solutions, and impactful leadership at the intersection of technology, law, and business.
