Background & Current Focus

Ray Biederman is an Indianapolis eDiscovery attorney, commercial litigator, and founding partner of Mattingly Burke Cohen & Biederman LLP. He is recognized by Super Lawyers in E-Discovery and by The Best Lawyers in America in Commercial Litigation, and Electronic Discovery and Information Management Law, and he co-founded and leads Proteus Discovery Group, a litigator-led eDiscovery company.

Ray has worked in eDiscovery since 2004, before he entered law school, and has handled every phase of it for more than two decades: preservation and collection, data processing, review management, ESI protocol and production-format negotiation, and discovery motion practice. Companies and outside counsel retain him on litigation strategy, eDiscovery compliance, and defensibility, and he has testified as an expert witness on eDiscovery and document production, with his work cited in court opinions. He also advises clients on information governance, including records policies tied to cybersecurity and regulatory obligations.

Ray pairs that discovery depth with a commercial litigation practice for sophisticated businesses: contract disputes, business valuation and shareholder disputes, product liability, and class action defense. Clients get a trial lawyer who knows where the evidence lives and what it costs to get it.

Since 2017, Ray has taught eDiscovery, information governance, and health information protection (HIPAA) as an adjunct lecturer at Indiana University's School of Informatics. He regularly presents CLE programs for the Indianapolis Bar Association, EDRM, and ACEDS. Before founding MBCB, he was a litigation associate at Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
