INVESTIGATIONS

Secure the evidence before it moves.

Investigations rarely start with tidy facts. They start with a suspicion, a deadline and data scattered across devices, chats and cloud accounts. Our job is to secure the evidence fast and keep every step defensible. 

Fast-tracked clarity

Quickly understand the scope of the incident, the risks you face and what happens next.

Keep it legal

We guide you through the process: avoiding privacy breaches, protecting confidentiality and privilege, and meeting critical deadlines.

Evidence-led 

 Independent and evidence-backed, so your findings stand up to challenge from lawyers, regulators and courts.

Swift, secure and structured

When an investigation begins, you need a team that can move quickly without losing control. You need a clear, defensible approach delivered with the care, discretion, and technical expertise required to establish the facts, assess the risk, and move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here are answers to the ones we’re asked most often. Clear, practical, and written to help you decide what you need next. If you need further answers, reach out to us. 

How quickly can you start an investigation?

Quickly, often the same day. Where a matter is urgent, the first priority is to secure relevant digital evidence before it is lost, changed or overwritten. 

What kinds of matters can you help with?

We support organisations with matters involving employee misconduct, suspected fraud, misuse of confidential information, whistleblowing concerns, regulatory issues, and disputes where digital evidence is likely to be important.

We do not yet know exactly what happened, can you still help?

Yes. Many matters begin with incomplete facts. We help establish what is known, what is still unclear, what evidence may exist, and what steps should be taken next.

What does a defensible investigation actually mean?

It means the evidence is identified, preserved, analysed, and documented in a way that can withstand challenge. We take a proportionate and transparent approach so the findings can be relied on with confidence.

Can you preserve digital evidence before it is lost or deleted?

Yes. One of the biggest risks in any investigation is delay. Relevant data often sits beyond email: across chats, mobiles, cloud tools, shared drives, archived sources and third-party systems. Mapping those sources early, and preserving the fragile ones first, is key to defensibility. 

What types of data do you look at?

That depends on the matter, but relevant evidence may include emails, messages, chat platforms, mobile data, documents, cloud storage, device data, archived data, and recoverable deleted items.

Can you work with our legal, HR, compliance, or IT teams?

Yes. We regularly work alongside internal stakeholders and external advisers to help shape scope, preserve evidence, and support informed decision-making throughout the matter.

Will we have one point of contact throughout the matter?

Yes. We know continuity matters in sensitive investigations, so we aim to provide a consistent point of contact from the outset.
