Practicing at the intersection of law, technology and employment, Niloy Ray is a nationally recognized thought leader on AI, eDiscovery, and the use of technology across the employment lifecycle. As a co-lead of Littler’s AI practice, Niloy advises clients on pragmatic and cross-functional approaches to assessing, deploying, and managing employee-focused AI tools on the one hand and defends against AI-based employment class actions on the other. His cross-functional guidance supports business, product, and HR teams in navigating the evolving use and regulation of AI-driven tools and processes. Niloy helps clients create and implement AI development policies, select and deploy AI tools, train teams on AI risks, and comply with emerging regulations in the U.S. and internationally. Using his deep legal and technological skills, he provides tailored solutions for integrating AI across the employment lifecycle while minimizing compliance and litigation risks.

Niloy has extensive experience handling eDiscovery and electronic evidence issues nationwide in employment disputes, including class actions and trade-secret cases. He advises clients on preserving data proportionately and cost-effectively, developing strategies to minimize eDiscovery complexities, designing advanced ESI review and production methodologies using cutting-edge tools such as threading, clustering, multivariate search criteria and AI, addressing trial issues including expert testimony and the admissibility and authentication of electronic evidence, and establishing record-retention schedules, practical eDiscovery policies and data-minimization frameworks. An active litigator, Niloy regularly handles hearings, depositions, and trial issues related to eDiscovery, nationwide.

Before joining Littler, Niloy was at another multinational law firm, where his practice focused on commercial litigation in federal and state courts in complex tort, antitrust and contract matters. At that firm, he also regularly represented energy utilities in regulatory proceedings and related litigation, and conducted internal investigations for Fortune 500 and academic clients.

Prior to attending law school, Niloy spent several years coding, designing, and leading the development of supply chain software applications for Retek Inc., now part of Oracle.
