Make Complex Evidence Litigation Ready.

Datalab helps legal teams turn complex digital evidence into structured, understandable and usable material for litigation. We preserve, process and analyse evidence from computers, mobile devices, cloud platforms, CCTV, Police evidence captures and other digital sources, providing clear forensic reporting that allows critical evidence to be identified and understood.

Where matters involve larger litigation teams or established eDiscovery and litigation-support platforms, we can also process, structure and prepare forensic data for ingestion into those systems, helping ensure evidence from different sources can be incorporated into the wider case workflow.

Our broader electronic laboratory also gives us access to specialist hardware repair and data recovery capabilities, allowing us to investigate damaged or electronically non-functional devices where potentially critical evidence may otherwise be inaccessible.

Where Litigation Support Can Help

Datalab can support legal teams at any stage where digital evidence needs to be preserved, interpreted, challenged or prepared for use in litigation.

Mobile & Digital Evidence — Where specific information is required from a phone or other device for Court, mediation or investigation, we can forensically preserve and extract the relevant evidence.
Disclosure Review — Where disclosed digital evidence is complex, incomplete or contested, we can examine the underlying data and provide an independent forensic interpretation.
Expert Witness Services — Where an independent expert opinion is required, our practitioners can review the available evidence, provide forensic findings and assist with expert reporting and Court proceedings.
Email & Cloud Forensics — Where relevant emails or other digital evidence are held within cloud accounts or servers, we can preserve, process and examine the available data for forensic review and litigation.
Litigation Data Preparation — Where evidence needs to move into a larger eDiscovery or litigation-support environment, we can process, structure and prepare forensic datasets for ingestion, helping integrate evidence from multiple sources into the wider case workflow.

Planning the Investigation

To help preserve the evidential value of the material and ensure the investigation is properly scoped:

Identify the evidence sources — Where possible, prepare a list of relevant hardware, email accounts, cloud services, social media accounts and other potential evidence sources.
Preserve the evidence — Isolate relevant devices, accounts and data where possible, and avoid further use or modification before forensic examination.
Discuss the circumstances — Arrange a meeting with our forensic team to explain the background, establish the key questions that need to be answered and identify the evidence available.
Plan the investigation — We will work with you to determine the appropriate forensic approach, prioritise relevant evidence sources, prepare required docs including Legal Aid and agree the scope of the investigation.
