Exp Technology Consultants Inc. · San Diego, California
Dr. Andreas Freund embeds with litigation, regulatory and innovation teams as the firm's own technical bench — on-chain tracing, smart contract audits, expert declarations and enterprise legal AI. The same forensic hours your matters already need, at 30–50% lower effective spend, with no vendor retainer locking up client capital.
Bring one live or prospective matter. You leave the call with a feasibility read, a turnaround estimate, and the specific vendor line items that come out of the budget. Conflict check before anything starts. No retainer.
01 — Profile
Founder, Exp Technology Consultants Inc. — San Diego, California
The person who writes the forensic scripts is the same person who sits with the partners filing the declaration. No analyst-to-vendor-to-partner relay, no translation layer, and no hand-off between the technical finding and the legal argument built on it.
His doctorate is in theoretical particle physics — a discipline built on pulling defensible conclusions out of noisy, high-volume data and showing the derivation at every step. Courts ask for the same thing from a technical declaration: method stated, data reproducible, conclusions carried no further than the evidence supports. Alongside it sits large-scale enterprise technology delivery — a $2Bn+ enterprise value track record — and formal process engineering as a certified Six Sigma Black Belt.
A vendor sends a report and an invoice. What a partner actually needs is the finding, the method behind it, and someone who can stand behind both on the court's deadline.
02 — What changes for your practice
Digital asset and AI matters are traditionally routed to forensic accounting firms, intelligence vendors or generalist IT consultants. Replacing that path with an embedded technical advisor changes the economics, the calendar and what the firm can sell.
The same tracing, decompilation and declaration work — without vendor markup, per-matter minimum retainers, or data platform surcharges passed through to the client.
Tracing, code analysis and daily digests come back same-day or within 24 hours, against the one-to-two-week lead time a vendor quotes after its retainer clears.
A DeFi exploit emergency response retainer and a "Know Your Agent" practice group are revenue lines the firm can launch with the technical side already staffed.
Litigation scoping, client pitch support and AI Steering Committee participation sit inside the monthly retainer rather than arriving as a separate vendor invoice.
