@jasonratigan

Senior eDiscovery Specialist at IBM who built FileMaker applications for matter tracking, invoice tracking, and workflow automation.

United States
Message

At IBM, I manage legal workstreams across the ESI lifecycle and evaluate technology, vendors, and workflows for defensibility, data quality, cost, and legal-team needs. I designed and built FileMaker applications for matter and invoice tracking, workflow automation, and data analysis, advancing from no prior experience to advanced proficiency in about six months.

I’ve also built AI-assisted tools for legal workflows, including a prototype that turns matter-intake documents into structured tracking data, and tested AI-assisted review against TAR 1.0 using recall and precision metrics. At Pomerantz LLP and in contract attorney roles, I supported securities litigation and eDiscovery review, producing case materials and building spreadsheet-based tools to organize complex datasets.
