Capabilities

Bring the question. We will tell you what the evidence can carry.

Nine disciplines, one evidentiary foundation, and an expert attached to every opinion. Most engagements use two or three of these at once, which is the point of having them under one roof.

Disciplines

Every one of these has a named expert behind it who will sit for the deposition. Open any discipline to see the questions it answers.

Digital Forensics icon Digital Forensics Your data tells a story: who created it, how, and when
The question

What happened on this device, when, and by whom? Was data deleted, moved, or altered? Does the artifact record support the account being given?

How we work it

Forensically sound methods that are repeatable and defensible. Preserve first, analyze second, document throughout. Findings are stated in terms of what the artifacts support, and where the record is silent.

What you receive

Defensible collections, artifact-level analysis, reconstructed timelines, and an expert prepared to explain all of it under examination.

Featured service
Employee Risk Assessment (ERA™)

When an employee departs, or is suspected of misconduct, the electronic artifacts that matter can be hyper-volatile. An ERA identifies where they live, preserves them before they change, and tells you what the employee’s digital footprint actually shows.

Neutral work
When the court needs an answer, not an advocate.

iDS experts serve as court-appointed neutrals, special masters for ESI discovery, and neutrals agreed on by both parties. We examine devices, mailboxes, cloud accounts, and databases under the terms of the order, and report what the data shows to the court.

Structured Data & Analytics icon Structured Data & Analytics Databases are evidence, and they behave differently
The question

Does the claimed pattern hold at population scale? What do the transactional records actually establish about conduct, hours, pricing, or class composition?

How we work it

Identification, acquisition, analysis, and production of enterprise systems including SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2. We read the system before we read the data, then use visualizations and statistical models to make the volume comprehensible.

What you receive

Population-level analysis rather than sample anecdote, visual exhibits a jury can follow, and testimony on method as well as result.

eDiscovery & Disclosure icon eDiscovery & Disclosure A complete, defensible record, at a cost that is defensible too
The question

Do we need to process all of this, and can we defend the choice not to? How do we keep the complete source without paying to review what does not matter?

How we work it

Expert judgment before processing. Our forensic experts preserve the full source defensibly, identify what is potentially relevant, and export only that into processing and review, on Relativity, RelAIR, or Nuix Discover. Everything else stays preserved under chain of custody, so we can return to the original image if the matter changes, and questions about deleted data go to forensic examination rather than review.

What you receive

A reviewable record, documented decisions on scope and method, a processing scope that can be explained to opposing counsel and justified against your budget, and a witness who can explain why the search was reasonable.

Preserve everything. Process only what matters.
More data does not automatically mean more evidence.

Volume is not access, and access is not clarity. You should not pay to process operating-system files, unused space, or irrelevant data simply because it exists on a forensic image. We scope processing to what is relevant and proportional to the needs of the case under FRCP 26(b)(1), while the complete source stays preserved and defensible.

In one internal investigation, LeanReview™ prioritized 2,225 documents for review out of more than 3 million. Over 80% proved responsive, and 110 key documents went into the interview binders.

“Courts expect discovery to be proportional to the needs of the case. So should your invoice.”

Damages & Forensic Accounting icon Damages & Forensic Accounting Financial exposure, stated as a range with named assumptions
The question

What is the economic effect? What would have happened absent the conduct? How sensitive is the number to each assumption behind it?

How we work it

Build the counterfactual explicitly. Where the damages rest on transactional data, the same firm that analyzed the data supports the model, so the two do not contradict each other on cross.

What you receive

Damages and valuation analysis, sensitivity testing, rebuttal of opposing financial opinions, and testimony.

Economics
Quantify damages, lost profits, and valuation in complex commercial and market disputes, with a number built to survive the expert hired to break it.

In many disputes, the number is the fight. What was lost, what it is worth, and whether the analysis behind the figure survives an opposing expert determined to break it. iDS brings decades of experience inside global financial, energy, and commodity markets to that fight, with practitioners who structured and valued complex transactions long before they were asked to opine on them, working alongside the iDS experts who uncover and validate the evidence a number rests on.

Investigations icon Investigations Rapid response when the incident carries legal risk
The question

What happened, who was involved, and how much of it can be established rather than inferred?

How we work it

Our Special Investigations Unit responds to criminal acts, government investigations, employee misconduct, and urgent internal matters. Investigative instinct paired with the evidentiary discipline that keeps findings usable later.

What you receive

Findings, a documented investigative record, and privilege-aware reporting built to survive later scrutiny.

Cybersecurity icon Cybersecurity A single incident can cause lasting organizational harm
The question

How did they get in, what did they reach, what can we demonstrate about it, and what is our notification exposure?

How we work it

Expert-driven risk mitigation and incident response, tailored rather than templated. Because the same people testify, the response is documented as though it will be examined, because it often is.

What you receive

Incident findings, security posture assessment, remediation priorities, and expert support if it becomes a dispute.

Privacy icon Privacy Rights requests are an evidence problem before they are a legal one
The question

Where does the personal data live, and how do we respond to a DSAR within the window without over-disclosing?

How we work it

Map the data, then design a review and production workflow that controls cost. The hard part is rarely locating the data; it is reviewing and turning it over efficiently.

What you receive

A defensible response workflow, cross-border handling that respects GDPR and equivalents, and a repeatable process for the next request.

Information Governance & Compliance icon Information Governance & Compliance Reduce the risk before it becomes a matter
The question

What data do we hold, why, and what would we be able to show about how our systems were run?

How we work it

Data maps, retention policy, and Data Footprint reduction, plus audit and compliance readiness across the US and EU. Designed by people who have seen which gaps get exploited in litigation.

What you receive

A governance strategy that lowers cost and risk at once, and controls you can actually evidence.

Expert Testimony icon Expert Testimony The discipline every other discipline reports into
The question

Who will stand behind this opinion when it is challenged, and will the method survive the challenge?

How we work it

Expert opinions, fact witness, PMK, 30(b)(6), and data neutral engagements. Our case portfolio includes both defense and plaintiff matters, and our CEO has served as special master on multiple occasions.

What you receive

A report written to withstand scrutiny, and an expert who will present it and stand behind it on paper, in deposition, and at trial.

Start with your question

You do not need to pick a service line first. Bring us the question you cannot answer yet. These are the ones we hear most.

Did our former employee take something on the way out? Digital Forensics · Investigations Does the class hold up once you look at all of the records? Structured Data & Analytics · Damages & Forensic Accounting Is this document real, and can we prove it either way? Digital Forensics · AI & Emerging Tech What is our actual exposure, and how firm is the number? Damages & Forensic Accounting Can we collect this across three jurisdictions without breaching privacy law? eDiscovery & Disclosure · Privacy Your question is not on this list. Ask us anyway →
Built, not bought

We built our own methods because the off-the-shelf ones did not answer the question.

Chambers and Partners has recognized the firm nine consecutive years, and specifically for structured data and the tools built around it.

Fact Crashing™

Use action data early to establish facts before the expensive phase of discovery, and resolve sooner on better information.

Explore Fact Crashing™ →
Fusion Analytics™

Structured and unstructured analytics run together, so the transaction record and the document record are read against each other rather than separately.

xIOT®

Our approach to the non-traditional sources: IoT, telematics, building systems, and the devices people forget are keeping records.

Consensus Coding®

A review methodology built for defensibility of the coding decision itself, not just throughput.

Where this shows up

Matter types where these disciplines regularly run together. Since 2008 the firm has worked more than 3,000 matters, from a single mobile device to cases involving hundreds of thousands of plaintiffs and billions of records.

You do not have to know which discipline you need.

That is our job. Tell us what you are trying to establish and we will tell you which of these it takes, or that it does not take us at all.

Bring us your question
What is at stake

The earlier you understand the evidence, the better the decisions that follow.

The evidence is abundant. But volume is not access. Access is not understanding. And understanding is not an expert opinion.

Increasingly, evidence is buried across devices, applications, databases, cloud systems, transactions, and other complex sources. It must be found, preserved, made accessible, understood, and interpreted in the context of the matter. And when expert testimony is required, that understanding must support an independent, defensible opinion.

When important evidence surfaces late, assumptions may already have become strategy. When it is identified, tested, and understood early, your team can build its strategy around what can actually be shown. This isn’t just for trial. It is also for TROs, letters rogatory, discovery requests, subpoenas, depositions, summary judgment, mediation, and arbitration.

You bring the legal expertise. We bring the evidence expertise.

iDS combines technical, analytical, and subject-matter expertise to help you move from evidence to understanding, and, when necessary, from understanding to opinion and testimony.

You know the law. We help you know the evidence.
