Overview of our practice

Within our global Forensics practice, we have a Forensic Technology & Discovery Services team (FTDS) that is a data-focused unit helping support our clients when dealing with the complex issues of fraud, regulatory compliance, and business disputes.

Our FTDS team has a speciality e Discovery team that operates across the full data investigation lifecycle (identification, preservation, collection, processing, analysis, review, production, reporting, and data disposition).

Our engagements typically require working with international teams on large, and often disparate, volumes of electronically stored structured and unstructured data, and the application of advanced analytics techniques.

We work with clients across a range of sectors, and specialising in financial services (retail banking, corporate banking, investment banking and insurance), supporting investigations, disputes, and proactive risk detection.

We often work in multi-party teams collaborating with our clients, their legal counsel, and other specialists, using our expertise, experience, and advanced technology to deliver data insights in time-pressed situations.

We lead on traditional e Discovery use cases, and our team also works on adjacent use cases, such as digital forensics, cyber incident response, information governance, and data privacy matters amongst other related matters.

• Build and maintain relationships with clients to develop and enhance their workflows creating synergy between teams.
• Support the training and development of junior staff on e Discovery engagements, including overseeing their work on across all areas of the project lifecycle.
