An accredited 60 to 90 minute CPD session for solicitors, paralegals and clerks on digital evidence, OSINT and instructing intelligence work defensibly.
Instructing digital and OSINT evidence well requires knowing what to ask for, and recognising what a defensible chain of custody actually looks like before it becomes a problem at trial. Many instructions are still framed too loosely, leaving gaps that surface only when an opposing expert or counsel tests the evidence properly. This accredited session covers ACPO Principles for Digital Evidence, common pitfalls in instructing investigative work, and how to assess whether a report will hold up under cross-examination, delivered by the analyst who signs Greyline’s own litigation-aligned reports.
