Private information and disputed access
We examine the nature of the information, access permissions and the relationship between those involved. Employment, corporate or personal disputes may require a distinction between data protection issues and alleged criminal conduct.
Disclosure, recipients and evidence
We review correspondence, records and any circulation of the information. The analysis identifies each person’s alleged involvement, the authorisation in place and evidence of what happened.
Defence or assessment of a prosecution
For a person facing allegations, we assess the conduct and available evidence. For an affected party, we examine whether criminal action is appropriate. Trade secrets may require a different legal classification depending on the information concerned.
