We’re representing a leading global risk and investigations consultancy, supporting corporate clients, law firms, and private individuals with complex forensic investigations.

The Digital Forensics team provides expert evidence and advisory services in high-stakes matters — from intellectual property theft and insider fraud to bribery, corruption, and misconduct investigations.

This is a highly specialised, court-facing role requiring deep technical capability, evidential integrity, and the ability to communicate complex findings with absolute clarity and precision.

Key Responsibilities

Evidence Handling & Analysis

• Conduct forensic imaging, acquisition, and preservation of digital evidence from computers, mobile devices, servers, and cloud environments.
• Identify and mitigate anti-forensic or data destruction techniques.
• Maintain strict chain-of-custody and ensure evidence is admissible in civil and criminal proceedings.

Investigations & Reporting

• Lead or support digital forensic investigations into fraud, IP theft, employee misconduct, and regulatory breaches.
• Produce detailed forensic reports that withstand legal and technical scrutiny.
• Collaborate with legal counsel, HR, and senior stakeholders to interpret and present findings clearly and defensibly.
• Contribute forensic expertise to multi-disciplinary investigation teams, including cyber, intelligence, and crisis response functions.

Client Advisory & Expert Testimony

• Advise clients on evidence strategy, preservation protocols, and investigation readiness.
• Act as an expert witness where required, providing testimony and technical interpretation for court or arbitration proceedings.
• Proven experience conducting digital forensic investigations within corporate, legal, or law enforcement settings.
• Strong technical proficiency with forensic tools such as EnCase, FTK, Cellebrite, Magnet AXIOM, Oxygen Forensic Detective, or X‑Ways.
• Deep understanding of file systems, operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile OS (iOS, Android), and cloud platforms.
• Experience producing formal forensic reports and maintaining evidential integrity under legal standards.
• Knowledge of the legal, regulatory, and procedural requirements governing digital evidence and disclosure.
• Exposure to expert witness work or litigation support.
• Experience in mobile/wearable device forensics, encryption, or anti‑forensics.
• Certifications such as EnCE, GCFE, GCFA, CFCE, or CHFI.
• Degree in Computer Science, Digital Forensics, or a related field.
• Familiarity with incident response or network forensics.

Personal Qualities

• Analytical, meticulous, and methodical in approach.
• Discreet and professional when handling sensitive matters.
• Confident communicator capable of translating technical complexity for non-technical audiences.
• Resilient under pressure and comfortable managing multiple concurrent investigations.
• Committed to professional development and continuous technical improvement.

Why This Opportunity

• Work on complex, high-profile investigations spanning corporate, regulatory, and criminal domains.
• Collaborate with leading cyber, intelligence, and forensic experts across international jurisdictions.
• Develop as a court-facing expert in a fast-growing and respected investigations practice.
