IT Direct provides a full range of e-discovery, computer forensics and litigation services. More broad e-discovery rules present a challenge for lawyers in providing professional counsel to their clients. IT Direct works with our legal clients to create preventive document retention strategies. When there is the potential for litigation, IT Direct understands the legal requirements and provides informed services. 

We have worked with both prosecution and defense attorneys on cases involving intellectual property disputes, fraud, and destruction of data. Services include electronic discovery, computer forensics, data recovery, court testimony, corporate internal investigations and preventive services. Our staff looks at active data files as well as ambient data that is not accessible to average users. This can include previous versions of files, deleted files, encrypted data, and timelines of computer use.

During the discovery process, we evaluate whether the documents of interest are reasonably accessible or if retrieving them would present an undue burden. This can involve sampling the information in question, inspecting sources of information, and participating in a deposition related to the information systems.

Successful e-discovery involves locating, evaluating, and preserving evidence. It requires specialized techniques and forensic IT practices, including determining chain of custody of the documents. Our IT professionals have the technical sophistication to navigate sensitive digital information and deliver meaningful results.
