As a litigator-led eDiscovery partner, Proteus supports legal teams with secure, defensible workflows from the moment data is identified through final production.

Effective eDiscovery begins with a structured, defensible data collection strategy. We partner with legal teams to identify custodians, map data sources, preserve evidence, and execute collections that adhere to industry standards for defensibility and chain of custody.
Our approach aligns with the broader eDiscovery practice and we ensure collections are secure and defensible through documented processes and workflows. Dive deeper in our blog: Short Message Data Collection in eDiscovery
Mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and wearable tech, are often critical sources of legal data. Our mobile collection services are designed for speed, flexibility, and defensibility:
• We offer remote, same day mobile device collection, enabling secure data extraction without shipping devices or causing custodial disruption.
• Whether it’s iOS or Android, we understand the distinct technical and forensic challenges presented by each platform.
• We employ certified technologists and attorneys who oversee workflows, ensuring that every collection is both technically sound and legally defensible.
• Our team ensures that mobile collections maintain metadata integrity, support short message and app based communications, and integrate smoothly into the broader eDiscovery workflow.
This means legal teams and their law firm partners can rely on a mobile collection process that is aligned with the highest standards of security, defensibility, and legal readiness. Want to learn more? Check out our CLE on eDiscovery for Mobile Devices.
