Short technical notes on preserving online material, keeping custody records, and preparing evidence files for qualified review.
Current notes
These pieces are written around the questions that come up before a matter reaches counsel: what to capture, what to keep separate, what to log, and what not to conclude too early.
Case study · Jurisdiction DE · Anonymized
