Flare · Litigation support
Emails, messages, documents and device activity are central to most modern disputes. Whether the evidence helps or hurts often depends on how it was collected and how it is explained.
Flare is led by Mark Whittley, a former AFP and Office of Police Integrity investigator who has given evidence in court. We collect, examine and report on digital evidence to the standard courts expect, and we work under the instruction of legal teams.
Preserve early
Ask your client to stop using relevant devices and not to delete anything. Evidence changes with every day of use.
Engage through counsel
Where privilege matters, engage us through the instructing solicitor so our work is properly protected.
Define the questions
The clearer the questions, the more focused and cost-effective the examination.
What Flare does
Evidence collected properly, explained clearly, and defended under scrutiny.
Having a cyber incident?
