Disputes & Investigations
In the current economic climate, there have been an unprecedented number of business failures, financial frauds and accounting irregularities.

Dealing with matters of a complex nature requires a broad range of skills and experience.

Forensic Technology Services

Forensic Technology Services Include:
Computer Forensics Investigations;
Electronic Disclosure Management;
Data Mining and Database Analytics;
Information Governance; and
Cyber Security
In today's digital age, an increasing number of files and communications are stored on computer hard drives or sent through e-mail, thus giving forensic technologists the responsibility of gathering, preserving and presenting evidence for trial in an extremely cost effective and efficient way. In litigation (and other related) cases, the processes used to gather, preserve, analyse and present electronic evidence can make or break your case.
