Technical consulting for complex disputes
J Ballard Law focuses on the intersection of complex software systems and legal proceedings. The firm provides technical consulting and expert witness services in matters involving data privacy, cybersecurity, patents, trade secrets, and other software-related disputes.
The firm's work includes examining source code, network traffic, and other technical evidence, then translating the findings into clear reports that counsel can evaluate and use.
Privacy investigations & historical analysis
The firm assists counsel with matters involving data privacy, digital tracking, web and mobile analytics, and alleged unauthorized disclosures. Its work includes analyzing embedded trackers, pixels, software development kits, tag managers, and other data-collection mechanisms used in websites and mobile applications.
The firm evaluates how these technologies operated during particular periods, what information they could collect or disclose, and how their configurations changed over time. A significant part of the practice involves reconstructing prior tracking configurations using archived web content and discovery materials, including historical scripts, tag-manager configurations, and legacy code paths.
Software, patents & trade secrets
J Ballard Law also analyzes software and system architectures in patent and trade-secret matters. This work includes preparing patent-infringement claim charts, reviewing source code for evidence relevant to alleged misappropriation, and assisting expert witnesses in grounding their analyses in the underlying technology.
A considered approach
J Ballard Law grounds its analysis in the underlying technology, documents relevant system behavior, and communicates findings clearly. Engagement scope and suitability are evaluated for each matter.
