Better systems for work that matters.
Built on years of service as a federal prosecutor, Inspector General, legal-aid director, and municipal executive - designed around the needs of users, not developers.
Brennan Advisory Point helps public agencies and legal organizations design and implement case-management systems, conduct investigations, and improve the workflows through which important institutional work gets done.
Liam Brennan founded Brennan Advisory Point out of years spent inside the institutions the firm now serves - investigating cases, leading public agencies, managing legal operations, and building systems when the available tools fell short.

- -Investigations that need a defensible, documented process.
- -Case files that have to survive staff turnover and still hold up.
- -Public agencies that need transparency without sacrificing security.
- -Managers who need to know what's happening across hundreds of open matters.
- -Legal and public-sector teams stuck running the work through spreadsheets, email, and software that doesn't match how the work actually happens.
Systems & Case Management
Brennan Advisory Point designs and implements practical systems for investigations, legal matters, regulatory enforcement, complaints, reporting, and other complex workflows - intake and assignment, deadlines, evidence and documents, workflow automation, dashboards and reporting, public-facing components, and data migration and implementation.
The result: a manager can see where every matter stands, staff know what happens next, deadlines aren't buried in inboxes, and leadership can report accurately without reconstructing the record by hand.

Independent investigations, fact-finding, and institutional reviews - document analysis, interviews, findings, and clear, defensible reporting.
Learn more →Advisory
Workflow design, implementation strategy, and organizational problem-solving - including accountability systems and internal controls.

We understand how a matter actually moves - from intake through decision, investigation, review, disposition, and reporting - and design the technology around that process. That means Brennan Advisory Point can serve as your solution designer, your implementation partner, or a vendor-neutral adviser.
Four institutions. One throughline: making complex work succeed.
Case Management & Technology
As Executive Director of New Haven's Livable City Initiative, conceived, built, and launched the agency's case-management platform from the ground up - spanning four case types (housing code enforcement, anti-blight, vacant buildings, and residential licensing), automated notice and hearing workflows, licensing and inspection scheduling, a public owner portal with online payments, GIS-linked property records, and audit-logged case histories across thousands of active and historical matters used daily by inspectors, hearing officers, and program managers. The result: faster response times on code complaints, updated ordinances that modernized the city's enforcement authority, and a measurably more effective agency.
Investigations & Oversight
As Inspector General for the City of Hartford, conducted independent investigations into police misconduct, presented findings to the Civilian Police Review Board, created and litigated Connecticut's first civilian oversight-board subpoenas, and oversaw creation of the office's investigative case-management system and database.
Legal Services & Case Management
As Executive Director of the Connecticut Veterans Legal Center, directed a statewide legal aid organization, supervising a staff and a 600-plus-member volunteer network, overseeing its transition to a new case-management system, and leading federal litigation against the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
Federal Law Enforcement
Spent eleven years as a federal prosecutor - an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Connecticut and a Trial Attorney with the Department of Justice - directing Connecticut's Federal Public Corruption Task Force and leading the prosecution of former Governor John G. Rowland, along with cross-border securities fraud and residential mortgage-backed securities cases.
How we build better systems
Sitting with the people actually doing the work to map what happens - the mandate, the evidence, the deadlines, the decisions.
Translating that reality into workflow, permissions, data structure, reporting, and technology.
Configuration, migration, testing, training, and launch.
Monitoring what users actually do and refining the system.
