Eight areas where electronic evidence decides the outcome. Each one links to the practice notes we publish on that subject.

Fraud Investigations

Fraud leaves a digital trail across mailboxes, chat, finance systems and file shares. Our work is to find it, evidence it and present it in a form a court or regulator accepts.

E-D · §CMP

Competition and Anti-Trust

Competition evidence hides in ordinary business communications. Effective review depends on getting to the conversations, not just the documents.

E-D · §BRB

Bribery and Corruption

Corruption cases turn on relationships, authorisation and concealment. That evidence is usually communications evidence.

E-D · §REG

Regulatory and Compliance

Regulators expect a clear account of what was preserved, what was searched and why. That account is easier to give when the work was designed for it.

Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets

IP disputes are won on artefacts: USB history, cloud sync logs, file metadata and the sequence in which documents moved.

E-D · §INS

Insider Threat and Employee Misconduct

When an employee turns, the question is always the same: what did they access, copy or remove, and when.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Data rooms show what a seller chose to show. eDiscovery shows what the underlying records actually say.

E-D · §EMP

Employment Disputes

Employment matters are proportionality matters. The evidence is often messaging, and the constraint is almost always privacy.

Whether you are responding to a regulator, preparing for disclosure, or scoping an internal investigation, start the chain of custody with a short, confidential conversation.
