The Forensic Technology Group within HSNO is a global leader in helping companies and law firms prosecute and defend matters that involve paper and electronic information.  It’s critical to the economics of a matter that discovery and disclosure budgets be developed and managed in a timely manner.

We prepare, respond, and mitigate costs and risks associated with discovery of paper and electronic information.  Our team has handled the largest Foreign Corrupt Practices Act “FCPA” cases that have hit to date, in addition to handling complex investigations and litigation around Intellectual Property, Employment, Claims, Anti-Corruption, Anti-Money Laundering “AML”, Insurance Claims, Fraud and Investigative matters.

Our experts are technologists and or lawyers with a unique and special understanding of how to protect a company’s assets from being over-penetrated during the course of litigation or regulatory investigation.  We help control costs and time constraints with focused discovery utilizing an arsenal of tools and technologists that drive those tools.  As a professional corporation we prohibit strategic software partnerships which are typically driven by sales relationships that can cause undue perception and or issues in delivering solutions to our clients.

As the first global and mobile electronic discovery response team, HSNO continues its superior service model since 1973 that helps companies:

• Leverage practicing expert resources
• Control costs and risks by managing the data first
• Manage attorney review burden and timelines better
• Provide experts that have a positive economical and case impact
• Respond anywhere globally within 24 hours

In cases where discovery applies, primarily with a North American connection, HSNO help companies and law firms manage critical and time-sensitive discovery of information.  We help control discovery from the early stages all the way through to productions to third parties.  We maintain a focus on the components of discovery that carry heavy costs and put an emphasis on areas where we can make a positive and measurable impact on cost and time while maintaining a defensible approach.  The most ideal response approach is when a company has prepared in areas where preservation and collections can present a challenge.  If over preservation and collection occurs, filtering and review can grow dramatically in areas usually not relevant, causing constraints to a legal budget and time to respond.

In cases where disclosure is a focus, primarily outside a North American connection, HSNO helps companies and law firms manage critical and time-sensitive disclosure of information.  Disclosure of information can make or break your position in a matter; quickly identifying information will save you money and time.  We help you search, identify and review information that helps support your position in a matter under any tribunal, court, or otherwise.
