How do you confront the Shadow Broker?

Infiltrators can just cloak and sneak around to shoot him in the back, while anyone else is going to have to carefully shoot around the shield. Deplete the Shadow Broker's shields and armor, then run up to him and land a melee attack. The third time you punch him in the chops, Liara will end the fight for you.
