full bio and CV

​

It takes a different breed of lawyer to leave a successful law firm career to launch his own firm and (not to toot our own horns) cutting edge continuing legal education company. Robert Brownstone, luckily for us, is that breed. In 2020, after reaching his 20th anniversary as a lawyer and technologist at a prominent Silicon Valley based law firm, Robert Brownstone launched his own: 1) law firm; 2) tech consulting company; and 3) law/tech educational provider.

 

A nationally recognized resource on electronic information for decades, he has authored over 100 articles on law/tech issues, been cited in almost 100 law review articles and been featured or quoted more than 180 times in various legal publications and in mainstream media outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, AP, Forbes and BusinessWeek.

 

Robert has delivered 500+ presentations to lawyers, technologists, HR folks and law students on a range of topics, such as Legal Ethics of 21st Century Technology, the "eWorkplace," Social Media Risks and Rewards and Metadata / Redaction.  He has chaired more than 25 conferences on Data Privacy, Cybersecurity, eDiscovery, Information Governance (IG) and Legal Operations. He has taught at many a law school nationwide and been a curriculum director at two law schools.

 

Educating others is Robert’s passion.  Per a line in the first Incredibles movie,, his motto is "When everyone is a superhero, no one will be.”  He splits his time between New Orleans and San Francisco.  Robert can often be found singing karaoke or dancing.​
