ESI Forensics & Litigation
As more organizations implement document management technologies, the need for electronically stored information (ESI) forensics has intensified. EID staff members with legal and law enforcement experience have worked directly on large ESI-focused investigations. We have developed strategies for discovery request, evaluated the level of compliance in the materials produced, and worked with counsel to devise strategies to obtain compliance.

Litigation Support
We evaluate technologies your organization has employed to store information. We provide expert testimony on the trustworthiness of the ESI. We are here to assist you – we:
- Provide support in selecting in-house litigation software and/or third-party organizations that provide “outside” scanning and processing technologies
- Development of detailed timeline, metadata and “thread-based” analysis through careful and consistent examination of all available storage locations
- Evaluate the level of trustworthiness of ESI being received. This review is important, especially when receiving information from a electronic content/document/record management system.
