Melbourne’s law firms and corporates rely on recovered electronic data as evidence — from mobile phones, computers, tablets and cloud accounts — in disputes, investigations and litigation. Accidental deletion, device damage, malware or a disputed record can all put critical data at risk, and only data recovered through a forensic process can be relied upon in court.
For a matter headed to the Supreme Court of Victoria or the Federal Court, the difference between a forensic recovery and a consumer “data recovery” attempt is decisive: the wrong approach can overwrite evidence permanently and render it inadmissible.
