Senior Digital Forensic Consultant – Technology Litigation (Freelance)

Fully Remote | Project-Based | Immediate Start

Sporadic Hours | Contract / Freelance

We’re looking for a senior-level Digital Forensic Consultant to support complex civil and commercial litigation matters involving IT and digital evidence. This is a freelance, project-based opportunity for a highly experienced practitioner who can lead technical investigations and produce court-grade reports with minimal direction.

You’ll collaborate with legal teams, private clients, and expert advisors in cases related to intellectual property disputes, data breaches, insider misconduct, and contract-related digital investigations.

About the Role

This is not a junior or advisory support role — we’re seeking someone who:

• Can work independently and to a high evidentiary standard;
• Is able to produce clear, well-structured forensic reports that stand up in court.

While prior expert witness or testimony experience is a bonus, it is not required — but you must be confident working to that professional standard in the context of civil and commercial proceedings.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead forensic investigations into data handling, access, and digital activity across devices, systems, and cloud environments.
• Recover, preserve, and analyse digital evidence in line with civil litigation protocols.
• Produce forensic reports and affidavits suitable for expert review, disclosure, or submission.
• Work alongside legal teams to advise on timelines, activity logs, file manipulation, and chain of custody.
• Support search strategy and relevance filtering in eDiscovery or disclosure exercises.
• Maintain integrity of digital evidence through every phase of the process.

Your Background

• 8+ years’ experience in digital forensics, cyber investigations, or related fields.
• Advanced proficiency in tools like EnCase, FTK, X-Ways, Magnet AXIOM, Cellebrite, etc.
• Strong working knowledge of Windows, MacOS, mobile devices, file systems, and log interpretation.
• Clear, objective, and defensible technical writing skills.
• Demonstrated experience working on or around civil or commercial litigation.
• Able to operate independently and responsibly on high-trust, sensitive matters.

Preferred (Not Required)

• Prior experience as an expert witness or producing affidavits or declarations.
• Exposure to UK, EU, or common law legal systems in a litigation context.
• Certifications such as GCFA, EnCE, CFCE, CCE, CHFI.
• Familiarity with IP, data privacy, or contractual disputes.

Why Work With Us

• Work on meaningful, high-value legal matters — not generic advisory work.
• Sporadic, project-based engagements with flexible hours and full remote support.
• Join a high-trust, expert-led consulting environment.
• Fair rates for top-tier professionals with no bureaucracy.
