Patrick Burke, Counsel at Reed Smith LLP and a member of the firm’s Records & E-Discovery Group, is a highly respected specialist in the electronic discovery, disclosure, and forensics industry. Prior to joining Reed Smith, Burke was Senior Director and Assistant General Counsel at Guidance Software, Inc., a leading e-discovery and digital investigation software provider and the maker of EnCase. He previously practiced as a litigator with Linklaters. He is a frequent public speaker, a member of the Sedona Conference working group 6, and holds CIPP/Europe certification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

“We are very pleased to have Patrick join our Advisory Board,” said Frederick Gyebi-Ababio, Managing Director of eDiscovery Europe. “With his strong background in forensics, electronic discovery, and cyber security, he is sure to make a significant contribution. With Patrick's particular focus on cross-border electronic discovery and disclosure, European Union data protection and employee privacy, his acceptance to join the advisory board at LTEC can only be good news for the conference.”

“I’m excited about joining the LTEC Advisory Board,” said Burke, “because this conference represents the growth of e-discovery, digital investigations, and cyber security in Central and Eastern Europe. Reed Smith has active practices advising in each of these areas, serving clients in Europe through our offices in Munich, Paris, London and Greece. Last year’s conference was a big success and I’m sure this year it will be even more valuable to attendees and sponsors.”
