Litigation & Electronic Evidence
Identifying, Preserving and Analysing Electronic Evidence for Disputes and Investigations.
Litigation & Electronic Evidence.
Litigation and disputes increasingly involve electronic evidence from computers, mobile devices, email, cloud environments, business applications and other digital sources. Identifying relevant information, preserving it appropriately and understanding its context can be critical to developing a clear evidentiary record.
Key Incident Indicators
Pending or anticipated litigation involving electronic records
Legal notices requiring preservation or production of information
Disputes involving email, messaging or digital communications
Inconsistencies in document versions, timestamps or metadata
Missing, deleted or potentially altered electronic records
Large volumes of electronically stored information requiring review
Multiple custodians or systems containing potentially relevant information
Concerns regarding the authenticity or integrity of digital evidence
Discovery, disclosure or regulatory production requirements
Key Challenges & Stellar Forensic Interventions
Identifying Relevant Electronic Evidence
A dispute may involve large volumes of emails, documents, files, communications and other digital information spread across multiple devices and systems.
Preserving Electronic Evidence
Electronic information can change through routine system activity, device use, deletion, retention processes or other events. Preserving relevant information can therefore be an important early consideration.
Investigating Evidence Across Multiple Sources
Relevant evidence may exist across computers, mobile devices, email accounts, cloud environments, storage media and business systems.
Analysing Email, Documents and Communications
Email and other communications can provide important context around decisions, transactions, relationships and events relevant to a dispute.
Supporting Evidence Review and Presentation
Large volumes of electronic information may need to be organised, analysed and presented in a manner that allows legal and investigative teams to understand the relevant evidence.
Establishing the Sequence of Digital Events
A dispute may depend on understanding when information was created, accessed, modified, transferred or deleted.
