Built to be the firm we'd want to call.
Forted is a UK eDiscovery, digital forensics and investigations practice. We work with law firms, in-house legal teams and counsel on the matters that genuinely matter, from commercial disputes and arbitration to regulatory investigations and internal enquiries.
The firm was built on a simple observation. A lot of what passes for eDiscovery work is bloated, slow, and costs the client far more than it should. Whole teams are deployed where small ones would do. Old technology is used where modern tools would deliver better answers in a fraction of the time. Process is allowed to drive the matter, rather than the other way around.
We do it differently. Lean teams, modern technology, and people who have actually run matters end-to-end. That includes thoughtful adoption of GenAI where it makes the work more accurate and proportionate, alongside the forensic rigour and audit-ready process the work demands.
What we do:
- Digital forensic investigations: identifying, preserving, collecting and analysing digital evidence for litigation, regulatory work and internal investigations
- Incident response: rapid, calm support when something has gone wrong, focused on containment, defensibility and getting you back to operational
- eDiscovery consulting: strategy, project management and delivery across the discovery lifecycle, from early case investigation through review and production
If you'd like to talk through a matter or just see how we work, get in touch.
We focus on providing a quality, business aware approach which enables us to give exceptional service to our clients.
