Michael Bagdon turns complex technology into courtroom advantage.
Michael supports Lightfoot’s attorneys and clients in all phases of litigation, from managing exhibits and IT systems for complex trials to hot-seating during high-stakes court proceedings. He has worked with Fortune 500 clients on matters involving intellectual property, real estate, antitrust, product liability, environmental claims and more. Beyond trials, Michael has provided support in proceedings before the International Trade Commission (ITC), World Bank, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), as well as during Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations.
Before joining Lightfoot, Michael operated his own litigation technology consultancy and held senior positions at national trial support firms. He began his career as a mechanical design engineer before transitioning into legal technology. His deep technical skill set spans e-discovery platforms, graphic design, 3D animation and courtroom audiovisual systems. He also regularly manages “war rooms” during large, complex trials.
A graduate of Northeastern University with a Bachelor’s Degree in mechanical engineering technology, Michael is a dedicated community volunteer, supporting organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, a food bank and a local arts organization. Outside the office, Michael is a proud parent to his son, and you’ll often find him mountain biking, building custom bikes, playing guitar or flying drones.
