I oversaw all aspects of compliance reporting pursuant to Department of Labor audits and requests, case analysis and strategic planning, and drafting of case summaries and decision letters. I provided critical research and comprehensive review of Plan documents to ensure regulatory compliance. Additionally, I liaised with Board Members regarding client benefit strategies and benefit distribution.

As a Discovery Associate, I served as a leading member and discovery expert within the E-Discovery and Information Management practice group with significant responsibility for client counseling regarding discovery strategies. I demonstrated expertise in document retention, preservation, collection, production, cyber-security, and government compliance. I provided senior consultation for vendors regarding beta-testing of software. I litigated cyber security breach, immigration, fair housing, and employment discrimination cases.

Moreover, during my tenure, I successfully led 150-member document review teams through multi-billion dollar mergers and government investigations. I created information preservation and cyber-security protocols and procedures as a subject matter expert and senior advisor regarding digital protections strategies. I also served as an Antitrust Group member defending clients against Department of Justice antitrust investigations and ensuring Hart Scott Rodino Act compliance.
