Use cases
Forensic use cases and scenarios.
Scenario-led entry points covering the situations Canadian counsel and corporate clients most often bring us — from departing-employee theft to ransomware response and Anton Piller execution.
Most matters map to a familiar pattern. Departing-employee data theft. Ransomware response. Anton Piller execution. Hidden cryptocurrency in a divorce. A water-damaged phone that needs recovery. Each use case below describes the typical scenario, the artifacts we look for, the methodology we apply, and the deliverable you receive at the end.

The scenarios above are the shortest path from a real-world event to the forensic playbook that answers it. Each page pairs the legal and business context of the scenario with the specific evidence sources our lab acquires, the tooling we use to analyse them, and the report structure we file for that type of matter. Read the scenario closest to your file and you will get a working sense of scope, timeline, cost drivers, and the questions the final report will actually answer.
These scenarios are not the limit of what we do. If your matter looks like a hybrid — for example, a departing-employee investigation that turns into a ransomware event, or a family-law dispute that surfaces cryptocurrency tracing — call us and we will scope the combined engagement in a single fee estimate. Complex, multi-track matters are our normal working environment, not an exception.
