Forensic Data Collection & Recovery

Digital Forensic Collections
Teneo can assist with forensically sound collections of ESI from various sources including mobile devices, laptops, servers, and cloud applications. Our practices and technologies ensure that 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 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 can 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 analyse a wider range of data sources regardless of physical location.

eDiscovery Services

When facing pressure to identify, collect, review and disclose data, Teneo’s eDiscovery team 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 process. Our methods and technologies follow the Electronic Discovery Reference Model and evidentiary standards, which are repeatable and legally defensible in court.

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 use proven forensic collection tools to create a preserved forensic copy of the data. The data is then transferred to our secure forensic laboratory 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 our document review platform, Relativity, allowing our clients to efficiently and easily review, code and redact documents. Techniques and analytical features can be further applied to identify any relevant documents.

Managed Document Review Services
If you require assistance in reviewing documents, Teneo can quickly and cost-efficiently deploy our dedicated review team to help you review and code documents.

Our qualified document review team is led by highly experienced review managers and consists of attorneys, subject matter experts and specialist reviewers. Foreign language review capabilities are also available for a number of languages.

Production and Document Disclosure
After the document review has been completed, Teneo will readily support you in your document disclosure. Our review platform supports all commonly 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.

Corporate Intelligence

Teneo’s Forensic team can assist in gathering asset and market information to help clients better understand their own clients and borrowers. This enables Teneo’s clients to make informed decisions through the identification of hidden factors by performing risk-based integrity due diligence. Our team can search, collect and analyse information from both public and confidential sources.

Asset Tracing
Investigating asset ownership internationally with the aim of identifying undisclosed assets to enable recovery. Undisclosed assets located by Teneo’s Corporate Intelligence team include land and property, airplanes, boats, paintings, horses and shareholdings.

Integrity Due-Diligence
Investigations which gather information about the background, business track record, reputation and integrity of the subjects and associated key individuals. Examples include partner due diligence in a pre-contract phase for potential joint venture engagements.
