A complete guide to how Computer Forensics Lab handles electronic evidence for UK litigation, internal investigations and regulatory work. The brochure walks through the full lifecycle: scoping and preservation advice before a single device is touched, forensic imaging of laptops, servers, removable media and network shares, and targeted extraction from mobile handsets, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams and WhatsApp. It explains how collected material is processed, de-duplicated, filtered by custodian, date range and keyword, then loaded into hosted review in Relativity, with technology assisted review available on larger matters. Later sections cover analysis work that goes beyond document review: recovery of deleted files, tracing data exfiltration to USB devices and personal cloud accounts, reconstructing user activity timelines, and interpreting artefacts that show who did what and when. The brochure sets out our reporting standards, including CPR Part 35 compliant expert reports, witness statements, exhibit bundles and testimony at hearings. Throughout, it details the controls that keep evidence defensible: hash verification, documented chain of custody, secure UK based storage, ISO 17025 aligned laboratory practice, ICO registration and UK GDPR compliant handling of personal data. Practical detail on turnaround times, remote and onsite acquisition across the UK, out of hours response, fixed fee options and how instructions are opened rounds out the document, so solicitors, in house counsel and compliance teams can judge fit before making contact.
