Brooklyn coverage
Working in Brooklyn
Brooklyn combines two distinct evidence profiles. Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO and the Brooklyn Navy Yard carry the enterprise footprint: financial back offices, tech and media companies, universities and hospital systems. Williamsburg, Bushwick and Gowanus carry the founder and small-business footprint, where the evidence is usually concentrated in a small number of SaaS accounts, mobile devices and personal cloud backups.
For Brooklyn matters, examiners are dispatched from the Manhattan intake at (212) 561-5860. Common working venues include the Kings County Supreme Court on Adams Street, the EDNY courthouse on Cadman Plaza East and counsel offices in Downtown Brooklyn.
Brooklyn venues and custodians
Where Brooklyn evidence usually sits
EDNY (225 Cadman Plaza East)
Preservation, collection and expert reporting for matters in the Brooklyn EDNY courthouse. Case management schedules in EDNY tend to be tight, so preservation is prioritized on day one.
Kings County Supreme Court (360 Adams Street)
Commercial and general-docket support including business records subpoenaed under CPLR 3120 and ESI orders directed at Brooklyn-based custodians and corporations.
Brooklyn tech and media companies
Preservation of Google Workspace, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Figma and SaaS admin logs for departing-employee, trade-secret and product-dispute matters common in the Brooklyn tech ecosystem.

How the work actually goes in Brooklyn
Enterprise footprint
Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO and the Brooklyn Navy Yard carry the enterprise footprint. Financial back offices tend to be Microsoft 365 heavy with Active Directory or Entra ID identity, plus specialty applications for the specific line of business. Tech and media companies more often run Google Workspace with Okta identity, GitHub or GitLab for source and a set of SaaS accounts (Slack, Notion, Figma, Linear) that all carry admin audit logs.
Universities and hospital systems
For matters involving Brooklyn universities and hospital systems, preservation is scoped carefully around student-records, research-data and PHI obligations. Where the underlying dispute does not require access to protected records, workflows are designed to avoid unnecessary access, and where access is unavoidable a BAA or research-data agreement is put in place before work starts.
Small-business and founder matters
Williamsburg, Bushwick and Gowanus small-business and founder matters typically concentrate in a small set of sources: a personal or small-team Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 tenant, one or two mobile devices, a personal cloud backup (iCloud or Google Drive), a Stripe or Square account for payments, and a small number of SaaS tools. Preservation is targeted rather than wholesale, and the engagement letter is written for founders who are also carrying the operational load.
EDNY practice notes
For matters in the Brooklyn EDNY courthouse, the preservation and collection plan is set against the specific Rule 16 scheduling order, not a generic timeline. Where the assigned chambers require an ESI protocol, the protocol is negotiated on the technical detail (source coverage, tools, processing conventions, production form) rather than boilerplate.
Frequently asked
Common questions on Brooklyn matters
Do you cover the Brooklyn Navy Yard?
Yes. Manufacturing tenants and studio tenants at the Brooklyn Navy Yard have both IT and operational-technology footprints. Preservation is scoped to the specific systems in question rather than a blanket seizure of the tenant's environment.
Can you handle a case filed in EDNY on a short schedule?
Yes. EDNY case management schedules are commonly tighter than SDNY. The preservation and processing plan is set against the actual scheduling order rather than a generic timeline, and the report is written to what the schedule allows.
How do you handle DUMBO or Williamsburg office visits?
On-site collection appointments are booked at the custodian's office or workspace. Where the space is shared or small, imaging is performed in a private conference room with the client contact present and the chain of custody documented on site.
