Digital forensics and e-evidence expert witnesses
Opinion on digital forensics and the integrity of electronic evidence.
Request an expertMany disputes now rest on electronic evidence. Our experts recover, preserve and analyse digital evidence and address its integrity and admissibility.
In it & technology, the difference between a strong case and a weak one often comes down to whether the expert truly understands the sector. Generalist opinion rarely survives scrutiny on specialist questions, and a tribunal gives little weight to evidence that misreads how it & technology actually works. We focus here precisely because the issues are technical, the stakes are high, and the wrong expert is an expensive mistake.

FAQ
Common questions
What does a digital forensics and e-evidence expert witness do?
They give independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on digital forensics and e-evidence issues within it & technology, with an overriding duty to the court under CPR Part 35. The opinion usually takes the form of a written report and, where required, oral evidence.
When should I instruct a digital forensics and e-evidence expert?
As soon as the issues are clear. Early instruction helps you test the strengths and weaknesses of the case, scope the evidence proportionately and avoid a rushed report against a deadline.
How do you select experts for digital forensics and e-evidence matters?
On substance — relevant qualifications, genuine it & technology experience and an understanding of an expert's duties in litigation and arbitration. Where an expert has limited experience of giving evidence, we say so.
