As a software engineer turned litigator, Jason brings a singular combination of real-world legal experience and hands-on technical expertise to each eDiscovery engagement. A staunch advocate of continuous process improvement and innovative legal service delivery, Jason advises colleagues and clients on how to deploy the latest technologies and best practices to efficiently guide matters from pre-litigation information governance through the entire eDiscovery lifecycle. In doing so, Jason leverages well-honed skills in legal project management, statistical analysis, and machine learning to promote efficiency, mitigate risk, maintain accuracy, and stay under budget. Jason also serves on the firm's Innovation Committee and is a leader of the firm's Generative AI Task Force.
Jason regularly advocates for clients before special masters and regulators, during meet-and-confer conferences, and in written submissions. He also counsels clients on all legal and technical facets of data management, including the implementation of eDiscovery policy frameworks, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace deployments, proportional preservation and collection strategies, forensic examinations, structured data considerations, and technology-assisted review.
Jason's strong technical background includes substantial computer science coursework while an undergraduate at Yale University, followed by work experience as a software engineer for Sapient, a leading technology services consultancy, before attending Harvard Law School.
Jason has represented clients on a wide variety of complex commercial, labor and employment, and intellectual property disputes in state and federal courts spanning a broad array of industries, and has taken and defended more than a dozen depositions, many of which centered on technical topics. He also has achieved very favorable results for several pro bono clients. In 2009, he represented a former inmate as co-lead counsel in a week-long excessive-use-of-force trial in the Southern District of New York. Jason obtained a complete plaintiff's verdict and a $750,000 damages award. He also argued a criminal appeal before the New York Appellate Division, obtained a favorable settlement for a film editor seeking unpaid wages and editing credit on a Sundance award-winning documentary, and recovered a domain name from a cybersquatter on behalf of Save the Children. While at Harvard Law School, Jason worked at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, where he contributed to an amicus brief addressing novel copyright issues that was submitted at the request of the court.
