Founder and principal

Diana File.

M.A., Psychology · Principal, ForensicsFile

Diana founded ForensicsFile to solve a specific problem: in litigation, the difference between a defensible damages report and a credibility risk is the depth of the expertise behind it. She leads a team of forensic economists, human-capital specialists, and vocational experts, and brings the analytical rigor of fifteen years of data science practice to their work.

Practice background
Fifteen years of data science across Fortune 500 corporations, startups, government agencies, and non-profit institutions

Diana built ForensicsFile on a thesis: forensic economic damages work is best done by a team. Forensic economists, human-capital specialists, and vocational experts, each with depth in their area, working together on the matter. Diana leads the team and sets its standards.

The team approach now covers the firm's broader practice. ForensicsFile supports personal injury and family law matters as well, with vocational and human-capital expertise built into the team.

Her work before ForensicsFile gave her the operating discipline for this. Fifteen years building proprietary data science practices for Fortune 500 corporations, startups, government agencies, and non-profit institutions taught her how to assess analytical work, vet the people who do it, and run a team where every assumption is stated and every figure traces back to a source.

Earlier in her career, Diana served as a consultant to the Israel Defense Forces, working on decision architecture in complex hierarchies and leading global research on the resolution of intractable conflicts. The same instincts shape how she structures the firm's engagements: clear scope, named owners, and accountability built in from the first conversation.

"A team of trial-tested experts is built one matter at a time. There are no shortcuts that survive cross-examination."
