How eDiscovery Supports Internal Investigations & Litigation

Last updated: 4th March 2025

intro

Every organisation, at some point, faces situations where digital evidence is key. A whistleblower report about financial misconduct, an HR complaint involving inappropriate messages, or a contract dispute relying on years of email exchanges. These cases all have one thing in common: the need to quickly find and review relevant electronic evidence.

That’s where eDiscovery comes in. VMGroup specialise in helping businesses, legal teams, and regulators identify, collect, and analyse digital data efficiently and defensibly.

Some examples where we can support you include:

  • Internal Investigations
    When an organisation suspects misconduct, whether it’s fraud, intellectual property theft, or compliance violations, acting quickly is crucial. VMGroup secure and analyse key digital evidence from emails, shared drives, messaging platforms like Teams or Slack, and even deleted files. We recently assisted an insurance firm investigating where a departing employee had taken client lists before joining a competitor. Using forensic tools, we identified unauthorised USB file transfers and cloud uploads, allowing the company to review the data accessed and take appropriate legal action.
  • Litigation & Dispute Resolution
    Legal disputes often hinge on electronic records, but sifting through millions of documents to find the right ones is time-consuming and expensive. Our approach helps legal teams efficiently filter, review, and produce only the most relevant information. One example of the many, many investigations we have been actively engaged with is; VMGroup assisted a large construction company that was involved in a breach of contract dispute. The key evidence was identified within email threads spanning some fifteen years. Instead of reviewing everything manually, we used date filtering, keyword analysis, and Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) to identify the most critical supporting data first, dramatically improving the efficiency, quality, and reliability of the recovered data.
  • Regulatory & Compliance Matters
    With GDPR, anti-corruption laws, and financial regulations tightening, organisations are under increasing scrutiny. In addition, the introduction of new regulations (e.g. DORA/NIS2) require Third Party Risk Management compliance too. Whether responding to a regulator’s data request or conducting proactive compliance audits, our eDiscovery and Compliance Assessment solutions help our clients stay ahead of legal and compliance obligations. For example; VMGroup has helped many clients respond to Regulator’s request for records, in some cases this might have related to a market manipulation and /or insider trading investigations. We helped them preserve and produce thousands of emails and chat logs while maintaining full chain of custody.
