Nicholas has over 15 years of experience supporting Fortune 500 companies and Am Law 100 law firms as they navigate complex eDiscovery litigation and regulatory matters.  His communication-focused approach ensures clients, counsel, and vendors work with the same information to achieve their goals.

At Redgrave, Nicholas coordinates technology and review vendor relationships for the Firm across all matters and works to ensure that vendors provide quality and timely service to case teams and clients.  This includes pressure testing all workflows at each stage of the EDRM to ensure all relevant materials can be traced from collection through production to prevent “black-box” solutions.  Nicholas ensures clients are kept abreast of the rapidly changing dynamics, challenges, and pitfalls of current and emerging technologies such as hyperlinked attachments and artificial intelligence (AI) and understand the limitations and skillsets of each vendor in their approaches to those technologies.  He also leads the technical aspects of matters, including managing large eDiscovery projects and developing discovery workflows.

Prior to joining Redgrave, Nicholas was the Legal Technology Program Manager at Sidley Austin LLP.  He also worked as Senior Director, Data & Technology at Ankura and in client-facing roles at KLDiscovery and Xerox. 

Nicholas’ work experience includes:

  • Performing deep-dive assessments of eDiscovery vendor workflows and processes, ensuring weak points are addressed and project goals are met
  • Serving as lead contact for multiple Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Second Requests for corporations in the telecommunications and online retail sectors and overseeing and understanding the myriad collection, processing, production, and privilege logging workflows in place
  • Handling the dissection of non-standard data sources and creation of workflows to support the collection, processing, review, and production of those sources
  • Spearheading development initiatives for a Fortune 500 company’s proprietary review platform
