eDiscovery & Forensics
Litigation Support & Evidence Collection
Modern litigation requires specialized expertise in digital evidence. We provide forensically sound data collection, processing, and analysis to support eDiscovery requirements, internal investigations, and regulatory matters—ensuring defensibility while controlling costs.
eDiscovery & Digital Forensics for Litigation
eDiscovery forensics combines traditional electronic discovery processes with forensic rigor to ensure digital evidence is collected, preserved, and produced in a defensible manner. Unlike standard eDiscovery vendors, we apply forensic methodology to identify hidden data, recover deleted files, authenticate documents, and analyze metadata. This is critical when evidence integrity may be challenged or when opposing parties have spoliated evidence.
When Do You Need eDiscovery Forensics?
- Complex litigation requiring forensic collection from diverse data sources
- Matters where evidence spoliation is suspected or alleged
- Internal investigations requiring chain of custody documentation
- Regulatory inquiries demanding defensible preservation and production
- Cases involving mobile devices, cloud data, or encrypted content

eDiscovery Forensics FAQ
How is forensic eDiscovery different from standard eDiscovery?
Standard eDiscovery typically involves collecting files from shared drives and email archives. Forensic eDiscovery goes deeper—creating forensic images, recovering deleted files, analyzing metadata, examining system artifacts, and documenting chain of custody. This is essential when evidence authenticity may be challenged or when you need to identify what was deleted or altered.
What types of data can you collect?
We collect from all common sources: computers and laptops (Windows, Mac), servers, mobile devices (iOS, Android), cloud platforms (Office 365, Google Workspace, Slack), backup systems, and specialized databases. We also handle challenging sources like legacy systems, encrypted devices, and damaged media.
How do you ensure defensibility?
We document everything—preservation steps, collection methodology, chain of custody, and processing decisions. We use write-blockers for physical media, calculate hash values to verify data integrity, and maintain detailed logs. Our examiners can testify to defend the collection and processing methodology if challenged.
Can you help with cross-border discovery?
Yes. We understand the data privacy considerations in cross-border discovery, including GDPR, international blocking statutes, and data localization requirements. We work with counsel to design collection approaches that balance discovery obligations with privacy compliance.
What about privilege review and document production?
We integrate with review platforms (Relativity, Logikcull, etc.) to support attorney review workflows. We can assist with technology-assisted review (TAR), privilege logging, production formatting, and quality control. Our focus is forensic collection and analysis, but we partner with review teams seamlessly.
