Special Counsel, Litigation
BigLaw litigator using AI to build business development pipelines
Special Counsel in Milbank’s Litigation & Arbitration Group. Yale Law, Second Circuit clerkship, 15+ years of securities fraud, market manipulation, and regulatory defense work. Over the past three years I’ve enjoying learning how to build legal software using frontier AI models. I’ve shipped working prototypes for securities fraud case origination, fraud detection, and an emergency immigration habeas tool (as part of a pro bono project). I’m Interested in the intersection of litigation and AI-driven case evaluation, and in how lawyer-builders can capture value and create tools that software vendors cannot.
A multi-stage pipeline that screens major stock price drops nightly, runs plaintiff-style event-study damages estimates, then uses frontier LLMs to assess loss causation, falsity of prior disclosures, and insider-trading scienter signals. Automates the full case-evaluation workflow that securities fraud plaintiff firms currently do manually with economists and senior associates.
A pro bono platform for immigration habeas attorneys. Helps lawyers draft and file emergency habeas petitions fast enough to preserve venue in the district where their client was initially detained.

This article argues that the DOJ's new Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program may have limited effectiveness because it offers narrower awards (tied only to asset forfeitures), lacks the statutory protections of the SEC/CFTC programs, and creates conflicting incentives between rewarding whistleblowers and encouraging corporate self-disclosure that could result in declinations with minimal penalties.
