Data Recovery
Data Recovery refers to the practice of the discovery
of computer-based or electronic documents. This is a rapidly growing and highly important trend in litigation today.
Even though Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
state rules have included electronic files for some time in their definitions of
"documents" subject to discovery, the actual discovery of such documents has
become much more significant as businesses have geometrically increased their
use of computer-based documents such as the internet and e-mail.
Recently there have been numerous high-profile,
headline grabbing cases that have shown the significant impact of E-Discovery on
the course and outcome of litigation.
The GRS Forensics E-Discovery team focuses our talent
and expertise in assisting clients when addressing E-Discovery litigation and
pre-litigation issues. Our team
keeps GRS Forensics on top of all E-Discovery issues in litigation of all types,
including intellectual property, products liability, employment, antitrust,
commercial litigation, and criminal investigations.
Even before litigation begins, our E-Discovery team
members are able to provide suggestions to clients by reviewing existing
document and information handling plans, including the evaluation and
implementation of chain of custody and storage procedures.
In almost every legal matter, crucial
evidence
will be stored electronically, and must be
retrieved
without alteration or damage.
