Josh has over a decade of experience managing eDiscovery projects of varying scales and helps clients navigate the challenges associated with complex data reviews.  He has worked on a wide variety of matters, including second requests, pharmaceutical product liability litigation, multiparty financial shareholder disputes, highly customized information-governance matters, data repository management, and smaller cases requiring custom workflows for trial preparation.

At Redgrave, Josh manages eDiscovery projects for complex litigation matters, including crafting processes to streamline repeatable discovery workflows.  His knowledge spans the entire Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), and he leverages his extensive background and understanding of Relativity, Nuix, and Disco to support clients in matters necessitating custom requirements for analytics, review, and production.  Josh is also skilled in mapping out and navigating workflows built around predictive analytics, including Brainspace and other proprietary platforms using technology assisted review (TAR) 1.0 and 2.0 models.  

Before joining Redgrave, Josh was Director of eDiscovery—Americas at Ankura Consulting and a senior consultant at FTI Consulting.  Earlier in his career, he worked in bankruptcy law, clerking for the Hon. Rosemary Gambardella, U.S.B.J.  He worked as a contract eDiscovery attorney at several law firms and has experience as a technical writer and technology journalist.  Josh is a certified Relativity Expert (RCE).
