Forensic Technology & eDiscovery

We have the tools and expertise to support our clients through a variety of complex issues as they deal with electronically stored information.

The amount of electronic data produced by companies today can be overwhelming. As a result, organizations face a variety of complex issues, as well as substantial costs, when dealing with Electronically Stored Information (“ESI”) and responding to regulatory or litigation-related requests.

Teneo’s global network enables us to address cross-border and multi-jurisdictional matters in a time and cost-effective manner, especially in recent times when travel limitations apply.

Digital Forensic Data Collection, Recovery & Investigations

Digital Forensic Collections

Teneo can assist with forensically sound collections of ESI from various sources, including mobile devices, laptops, servers and cloud applications. We utilize practices and technologies that ensure all data is collected to an evidential standard and our involvement guarantees defensibility and neutrality. We also have the ability to perform remote data collections.

Digital Data Recovery

Our advanced forensic expertise and tools enable us to examine and verify whether digital evidence has been erased or modified, including the ability to often recover deleted data from devices. We also have the capability to perform password recovery and “cracking” to gain access to otherwise password-protected and encrypted files.

Digital Forensic Investigations

We help our clients achieve faster and more efficient analysis of complex and voluminous datasets during investigations. We provide complete forensic investigation services in relation to a wide range of requirements or challenges, including internal employee misconduct investigations and external regulatory or litigation responses. We offer remote investigation capabilities, enabling us to access and analyze a wider range of data sources regardless of physical location.

Legal eDiscovery Solutions

When facing pressure to identify, collect, review and disclose data, Teneo’s eDiscovery experts can assist you. Our experienced team uses the latest tools and technologies to greatly reduce workload and costs, allowing our clients to focus on reviewing relevant documents while we manage the technical challenges of the eDiscovery and eDisclosure processes. Our methods and technologies follow the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) and evidentiary standards, which are repeatable and legally defensible in court.

Data Identification, Preservation and Collection

Our computer forensic collection specialists will work with you to identify, preserve and collect relevant material from all available data sources, including cloud and email exchange systems, mobile phone images, WhatsApp data, instant messages and internal teams chat data, audio/video files, as well as hard copy documents. We will ensure that your data is collected as quickly as possible and in a defensible manner.

Early Case Assessment and Data Processing

Utilising the advanced technology within the industry, our team of highly skilled and experienced eDiscovery professionals will be able to advise and assist with prioritising relevant data for each matter. We assist with narrowing down searches for relevant material and identify key custodians of interest during the early case assessment phase, minimising the cost to your case.

Searching, Analysis and Review Support

Using the latest technology and utilizing tools such as technology assisted review (TAR) to review and analyse large sets of data, including multilingual searches, Teneo helps you to enhance the efficiency and reduce the costs of document review exercises. Our teams are experienced in working alongside internal and external counsel, legal teams and regulators, allowing us to provide additional insight into data.

Identification

At the beginning of every eDiscovery project, the sources of ESI that are potentially relevant to the case must be identified. In order to do this, Teneo can interview employees, such as IT personnel, who know where ESI is located and who has access to it. We can conduct data mapping and collect ESI from all available data sources.

Preservation & Collection

Once the potentially relevant ESI is identified, steps must be taken to preserve it in its current state. Teneo isolates the systems containing the ESI and uses forensic collection tools to create a preserved forensic copy of the data. The data is then transferred under chain-of-custody protocols to our secure forensic laboratories for further processing and analysis.

Data Processing & Culling

Liaising closely with you, we will extract, verify and convert the data files into a searchable format before indexing and de-duplicating the data set. Following the processing phase, we will work with you on early case assessment to help identify the most applicable documents for review.

Review & Analysis

The remaining ESI is then made available in one of our document review platforms, such as Relativity, allowing our clients and their legal advisors to efficiently and easily review, code and redact documents. Analytical techniques and advanced features can be further applied to identify any relevant documents.

Production and Document Disclosure

After the document review has been completed, Teneo will readily support you in your document disclosure. Our team and technologies support all common court-approved production formats and allows for customized bates numbering, slip sheets and metadata fields. We can also accommodate bespoke production requirements and will therefore discuss and confirm the specific production requirements prior to each disclosure.
