Electronic Discovery

Electronic Discovery, otherwise known as eDiscovery, refers to locating electronically stored information with the intent of using it as evidence in a civil or criminal legal case. The role of an electronic data discovery expert is to help bridge the gap between lawyers and information technology.

Types of Electronic Evidence

In the process of electronic discovery, data of all types can be recovered to serve as evidence. This can include:

  • e-mail
  • databases
  • word processing documents
  • spreadsheets
  • instant messaging logs
  • web site visits
  • all other digital files

We also investigate:

  • web browsing activity
  • identify metadata
  • reveal the content of temporary files
  • obtain data fragments
  • demonstrate evidence of tampering with electronic files and/or file deletion
  • unlock/search password protected files
  • establish data usage histories

In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court amended the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) to mandate that discovery is to include electronic evidence as part of the eDiscovery process. The FRCP states that electronic discovery must commence immediately upon filing of an action.
Although e-Discovery is primarily used by legal companies and lawyers, it is also widely used by larger corporations. This is usually to sort out disputes and non-disclosure issues.
