Richard is an engineer-attorney who brings AI solutions into the practice of law. Richard drives legal service and software solutions for an AI-native law firm, translating lawyer-augmented software capabilities to enterprise legal buyers.
His current work spans AI product strategy and feature development, legal process automation, and privileged technical advisory. He has architected agentic AI workflows for legal process automation, directed product roadmaps for litigation technology suites, and prototyped LLM workflows for eDiscovery.
Richard provides privileged technical validation of AI systems, not just legal advice about them. He helps GCs & CLOs evaluate AI tools under privilege, build governance frameworks, conduct adversarial red-team assessments of deployed models, and implement systems that capture institutional knowledge to reduce re-work and increase client retention. His value proposition is serving as the technical "universal translator" expert that an entire organization can draw upon when AI, cybersecurity, or complex data questions arise in legal services.
Prior to Eudia, Richard spent nearly 20 years addressing complex information governance challenges. At AlixPartners, he chaired the AI Task Force for eDiscovery and Investigations, and served as breach coach and incident response lead for significant data exfiltration events. He architected SEC, FINRA, and CFTC compliance projects for major financial services clients and served as lead testifying digital forensic expert in a high-profile matter involving DPRK threat actors and cryptocurrency theft.
At Seyfarth Shaw, Richard co-led the Cybersecurity, Digital Investigations, and Information Governance practice and served as Special Counsel to the Firm. He managed a cross-functional team of 22+ professionals, created Seyfarth Scout (a proprietary remote forensics toolkit that generated a new revenue stream), and operated as discovery chief for bet-the-company pharmaceutical products liability litigation. His client work included full-stack cybersecurity, eDiscovery, and global GDPR compliance programs for Fortune 500 technology companies.
Richard is barred in Illinois and California and holds certifications in cybersecurity (CISSP), digital forensics (EnCE, EnCEP), ethical hacking (CEH), and AI security (CAISS).
Selected work
Sharepoint 3rd Party Bulk Downloaderflagship
Reliable bulk download tool for SharePoint shared folders. Built for forensic evidence collection but works for any SharePoint external sharing link. Solves for the issue with 3rd party Sharpoint folder links where the built in capability tries to create ZIP files before downloading multiple files. This crashes the browser or never finishes when you're dealing with dozens/hundreds/thousands of GB. Meant mainly for eDiscovery and digital forensics usage.
Authenticates via browser (email + OTP code), lets you browse and select folders interactively, downloads all files with concurrent workers, and produces a verification manifest with SHA-256 hashes.
