Daniel B. Garrie, Esq.

Daniel B. Garrie serves as an eDiscovery mediator, arbitrator, and Special Master in complex disputes nationwide. Counsel describe him as an exceptional communicator and a careful listener who builds a trusting, understanding, and respectful environment — the conditions that let parties settle.

Over more than two decades, he has been appointed and appeared before the Los Angeles County Superior Court, the New York Supreme Court, the Delaware Supreme Court, and the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second, Third, and Seventh Circuits. He recently served as Special Master in In re Facebook, Inc. Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation in the Northern District of California.

His work sits where the law and the technology meet. He is comfortable engaging with entrepreneurs, developers, and IT professionals as readily as with legal teams, and he has authored more than 400 legal and technical articles cited in over 500 publications and court opinions.

Beyond the bench

Daniel is the founder and managing partner of Law & Forensics, a consulting firm he started in 2008, and he teaches cybersecurity, computer forensics, and smart contracts at Harvard. He co-created the JAMS AI Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, and he is a co-inventor on four U.S. cybersecurity patents. He co-authored the Federal Judicial Center's guide Understanding Software, the Internet, Mobile Computing, and the Cloud: A Guide for Judges.

Daniel's neutral practice is administered through JAMS and is kept separate from Law & Forensics, his expert-services firm. This site addresses only the neutral practice.
