Valkyrie supports law firms with the collection, processing and searching of electronic documents for disclosure in litigation and document production in arbitration. Getting disclosure right starts with collecting the data properly, then reducing it to what actually matters.
Defensible collection
We collect email, documents and messages from computers, phones, servers and cloud accounts in a forensically sound way, with a documented chain of custody. That gives you a clear answer if the completeness or integrity of your disclosure is ever challenged.
Processing and reducing the data
- De-duplication and removal of system files
- Date range, custodian and keyword filtering agreed with the legal team
- Recovery of attachments, embedded files and deleted items
- Exports prepared for your review platform or review team
Proportionate disclosure
In the Business and Property Courts, disclosure under Practice Direction 57AD expects parties to think carefully about scope and proportionality. We help solicitors understand what data exists, where it sits and what it would cost to search, so disclosure models and search terms can be agreed on an informed basis.
Arbitration
We support document production in international and domestic arbitration, adapting collection and searching to targeted requests from the tribunal or the other side.
Questions
When should we involve you?
Ideally before disclosure obligations crystallise, so that preservation is in place and early estimates of volume and cost inform case strategy.
Disclosure work is closely linked to our computer and cloud and email forensics, and to expert evidence where collection methods are disputed. Contact us to discuss a matter.
