Cybersecurity litigation and case consulting, expert support, incident and regulatory response at direction of counsel, defensibility assessments
Who this serves: law firms, general counsel, boards and special committees, and their clients in matters where technology, security, and investigative fact patterns decide outcomes. Foundation: three decades of FBI investigative and executive experience, partner-level consulting leadership, and operating accountability as a global CISO of a publicly traded company.
• Expert consulting and testimony support in matters involving cybersecurity failures, breach response adequacy, and standard-of-care disputes (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, sector regulations)
• Expert reports, declarations, and affidavit support; opinions on reasonableness of security programs and incident response
• Translation of complex technical evidence into plain language for judges, juries, arbitrators, and mediators
• Deposition and cross-examination preparation support for counsel examining technical witnesses
• Assessment of opposing expert positions; identification of technical weaknesses in adverse reports
• Case theory development on technology-heavy fact patterns; early case assessment of technical merits
• Digital evidence interpretation: system logs, forensic images and reports, chain-of-custody review, timeline reconstruction
• Coordination and quality control of digital forensics vendors and e-discovery technical workstreams
• Damages contextualization: business impact of security incidents, remediation cost reasonableness
• Privilege-aware post-incident investigation structure and execution support
• SEC cybersecurity disclosure rule readiness: materiality frameworks, disclosure controls, board oversight documentation
• Regulatory interaction preparation: SEC, DOJ/FBI, state attorneys general — informed by decades inside federal law enforcement
• Internal investigation support: scoping, evidence-handling discipline, executive interview strategy
• Defensibility-focused security program gap assessments (build the record before you need it)
• Whistleblower and complaint-intake program design; triage and escalation frameworks that survive scrutiny
• Board and audit committee education on cyber oversight duties (Caremark-era expectations)
Engagement models: hourly expert consulting · fixed-scope assessments · monthly retainer · fractional executive arrangements. Rates and detailed scoping on request. Conflicts checked before every engagement
