Litigation support

We help law firms develop and obtain evidence in a legally admissible form.

This means we understand civil and criminal process and are fully conversant with the Data Protection Act and Human Rights Act. Our team includes lawyers, fraud investigators, computer forensics experts and expert analysts.

The type of support we provide has included:

  • Undertaking a large-scale witness tracing exercise for The Bloody Sunday Inquiry
  • Supporting civil search and seizure orders
  • Capturing the images of over 250 computers in a CIS state, analysing the information contained and producing it in an admissible form in support of a civil claim
  • Undertaking physical surveillance in a £250m alleged fraud case on the alleged principals of the fraud
  • Asset searches to determine whether litigation should be launched, to help satisfy judgment debts and to support applications that legal aid should be withdrawn by the Legal Services Commission
