Jamie Brown

Vice President, Global Advisory Services, Lighthouse

As the Vice President of Global Advisory Services, Jamie is responsible for leading the strategic direction of the Global Advisory team, including new offerings, partnerships, and growth initiatives. She also advises clients, particularly those in heavily regulated industries, on legal and regulatory risk-mitigation strategies in connection with digital transformation, cloud migration, data remediation, and litigation/investigation readiness and response.

A former regulator, law firm partner, and in-house counsel, Jamie brings more than twenty years of experience leading and litigating complex matters involving technology and information in federal and state courts, and responding to investigatory demands brought by the US Department of Justice and US and foreign regulatory bodies. She specializes in information law, pre-trial strategies, cross-border investigations, ediscovery, and data protection.

Jamie has wide-ranging experience across corporate, government, and private practice, including:

• At UBS as the Executive Director and Global eDiscovery Counsel responsible for designing, implementing, and managing a centralized litigation and investigations response program to support the firm’s litigation and investigation matters worldwide.

• At Barclays, leading and implementing a global program to reduce legal, regulatory, and privacy risk associated with legacy systems and data. The program included significant cross-functional alignment with divisions outside of legal on related privacy, information technology, risk, and compliance issues.

• A trial attorney and then Assistant General Counsel and Head of eDiscovery in the Division of Enforcement at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission in Washington, DC. Here, she advised more than 250 enforcement attorneys on investigation techniques, strategies, and protocols on cases with global prominence.

• A litigation partner at Fennemore Craig in Phoenix, Arizona.

• A litigation and government investigations associate at King and Spalding in Washington, DC.

Jamie has testified in federal court and has qualified as an eDiscovery expert. In her corporate and government roles, she served as an FRCP 30(b)(6) designee for formal and informal testimony, and regularly interfaced with regulators and Congress on eDiscovery strategy and internal practices. Independently, Jamie has advised corporate legal departments on how to altogether avoid litigation and regulatory scrutiny on technology issues.

In her lifetime, Jamie has lived in eight states and three countries and moved more than 20 times. A master packer, she eventually found refuge in New York City, where she has planted long-term roots with her husband and two teenagers. A road-warrior for much of her life, Jamie adheres to a “travel-far and travel-light” mentality and is always planning the next getaway. Jamie is also a hockey mom, where she is able to utilize her advocacy and litigation skills in a different context.
