Organisations are generating unprecedented volumes of data from an ever‑expanding range of systems, formats and sources. When managed well, this data becomes a powerful asset that drives insight, efficiency and competitive advantage. When misunderstood or poorly handled, it exposes businesses to significant legal, regulatory and reputational risk.

Our role is to help clients stay ahead of these challenges by identifying issues early, responding quickly and maintaining control during regulatory enquiries, disputes or internal investigations. Using leading technologies – including generative AI, advanced analytics and specialist forensic tools – we uncover the facts with speed, accuracy and reliability. Our multidisciplinary team brings deep experience in complex, sensitive and high‑profile matters, enabling clients to make informed decisions and reduce risk with confidence.

As organisations face rising regulatory scrutiny, increasing litigation and rapidly growing data volumes, establishing the facts of a case has never been more challenging or more critical. We help clients navigate this complexity by discovering, analysing and monitoring their data with precision, supported by a global network of more than 700 forensic technology specialists.

Our work spans e-Discovery and work across the entire EDRM, incident response, DSAR, PII, contract remediation, communications monitoring and assisting government bodies. From information governance and data collection to evidence assessment and document review, we provide end‑to‑end electronic investigation services. With global reach and local regulatory insight, we deliver fast, defensible responses that help organisations meet their obligations, respond to regulators, manage crises and minimise exposure to economic and legal risk.

Generative AI

Our AI‑enhanced review capabilities combine Relativity aiR with advanced, custom-developed in‑house AI technologies, to accelerate and strengthen forensic and e-Discovery workflows and can also be applied across a multitude of other scenarios. Using large language models, we rapidly analyse document sets, pinpoint relevant material, and provide clear, citation‑backed explanations that mirror human reviewer reasoning – at speed and scale. Our secure investigative AI further enables natural‑language questioning across entire datasets, delivering accurate, referenced insights that overcome the limitations of keyword searching. Complementing this, automated entity‑level summaries give investigators an instant, comprehensive view of key individuals and topics, reducing onboarding time and minimising the risk of missed details. Together, these solutions provide faster clarity, deeper coverage, and defensible results for complex investigations, saving you both time and costs.

Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR) & PII Services

A cyber incident can trigger a sudden wave of questions – from customers, employees, regulators, and other stakeholders – all seeking answers about what data may have been exposed. That’s where we come in.

Our e-Discovery team helps you quickly identify and extract the relevant information, entities and data subjects so you can respond to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and meet regulatory obligations with confidence.

While our cyber specialists focus on strengthening your incident response and containment efforts, we zero in on the data: locating what’s been compromised, supporting clear and timely notifications, and helping you reduce risk linked to commercially sensitive or personally identifiable information (PII).

Data & Contract Remediation/Repapering

Organisations accumulate vast amounts of outdated or non‑compliant data over time, from legacy contracts to sensitive documents. Without proper oversight, this creates unnecessary legal, regulatory, and operational risk.

Our data remediation services give you clarity and control. Whether you're preparing for a merger, updating contracts, migrating systems, assessing large portfolios, or restructuring, we help you create a cleaner, compliant, and more manageable data environment.

Using advanced e‑Discovery technology and proven remediation methods, we identify, assess, and resolve high‑risk or redundant content – reducing exposure and strengthening your compliance posture.

We streamline what is often a manual and resource‑intensive process, delivering a safer, leaner, and more efficient data landscape so your organisation can move forward with confidence.

Communications Monitoring

Risk rarely appears without warning. In today’s digital workplace, early signals of misconduct, non‑compliance, or policy breaches are often hidden within everyday employee communications.

Our communications monitoring solution brings those signals into clear focus. As part of our e-Discovery and forensic offering, it enables organisations to capture and analyse communications across email (all formats), messaging (e.g. MS Teams, Bloomberg IM, ICE chat), and audio/voice platforms (e.g. Cloud9), using intelligent analytics to surface issues quickly. By identifying suspicious patterns, emerging risks, and anomalous behaviour early, clients can reduce investigation costs, limit exposure, and respond with speed and confidence. Built to support defensible investigations and regulatory scrutiny, our technology empowers organisations to move from reactive response to proactive risk management.

Government Framework

We’ve supported government agencies for many years, helping them manage, analyse, and review data securely, efficiently, and in full alignment with strict legal, regulatory, and public accountability requirements. Public sector matters often involve complex governance structures, legacy systems, and high‑volume information environments, all of which demand a precise and defensible approach to forensics and e-Discovery. Our specialists understand these challenges and tailor our methodologies to the specific needs of each government framework.

Whether you’re streamlining internal operations, responding to investigations, require an on-prem solution, or navigating evolving compliance obligations, we deliver fast, accurate, and repeatable results using proven technologies and robust, audit-ready processes. Our goal is to give you clarity, reduce risk, and support confident decision‑making at every stage of your data journey.
