ACEDS Welcomes David Horrigan to Its Global Advisory Board

“ACEDS is honored and grateful for the contributions that our board members make to our global community,” said ACEDS Executive Director, Mary Mack, CEDS, CISSP. “David has supported the growth of ACEDS overall and through our Detroit, Dublin, Jacksonville, Japan, London, and New England chapters, bringing his educational expertise to our global community, for which we are very appreciative.”

Horrigan is discovery counsel and legal education director at Relativity. An attorney, award-winning journalist, and former legal technology industry analyst, David has served as analyst and counsel at 451 Research, reporter and assistant editor at The National Law Journal, and counsel at the Entertainment Software Association. He brings more than two decades of knowledge and expertise in e-discovery, legal technologies, and areas such as data privacy to the ACEDS Global Advisory Board. As the volume of data rises and new information sources mount, Horrigan is tasked with educating and advising the Relativity Community in matters related to e-discovery and data law challenges, including litigation and corporate compliance.

“It’s an honor to be included among the law firm, service provider, and corporate leaders who comprise the ACEDS Global Advisory Board,” said Horrigan. “Mary Mack and Kaylee Walstad have made ACEDS a vehicle for serving the educational and career goals of e-discovery professionals around the globe. Members of the Relativity Community—and the entire e-Discovery Community—have benefitted from their efforts, and I look forward to continuing to contribute in this new role.”
