A Changing Digital Landscape
Proliferating Data Sources and Collaboration Tools have Moved the Goalposts for Investigations
Advances in digital technology bring new risks, and the need for new solutions to manage them. Deciphering events and gaining insights means that the discovery process must be as fluid as the digital natives who move intuitively across those platforms. Connecting cross-platform data to build a complete picture has never been more challenging, nor more urgent.

How Cryptocurrency Intersects with Fraud Investigations
The post-pandemic workplace has dramatically changed both information governance and the employee/employer relationship. With new remote models and changing philosophies towards work, organizational data is more vulnerable than ever before. Control, understanding and action are the keys to managing data, whether that includes PII or trade secrets. and a combination of technology and policy tools are required to ensure the organization is prepared and protected, and that data can be recovered and secured.

Principles for Negotiating with Regulators in Second Request Discovery
Very few things can incite more stress and urgency for legal and compliance teams than an HSR Second Request. Notorious for their tight deadlines and high stakes, second requests require organizations to process, review and produce large quantities of documents in a matter of only weeks or months. Failure to properly comply can result in significant delays to M&A proceedings.

Digital Risk is everywhere. Your response should be too.
Ensuring the enterprise controls its risks, and not the other way around, requires a root-and-branch approach to risk management.
Piecemeal approaches to managing digital risk exposes enterprises to unplanned costs, operational interruptions, reputation risk and a host of other challenges. At best, unmanaged risks are a serious nuisance, at worst they can become existential.
FTI Technology have developed a systematic approach to mastering enterprise-wide digital risks, from foundational steps, through ongoing "risk operations", to active preventative measures and meaningful responses to un-expected events.

Our Work in Action
Case Study
A financial services institution was seeking to deploy Copilot across its Microsoft 365 environment as part of a broader objective to leverage artificial intelligence to improve employee efficiency and work experience. With a robust risk management program in place, the company understood the importance of testing and evaluating the legal and regulatory risks associated with the new generative AI tool. FTI Technology is a longstanding trusted advisor to the company across information governance, e-discovery and digital risk, and was engaged to conduct a robust governance assessment during a contained project pilot.
Case Study
After a high-value, high-profile investment firm in Germany experienced an incident of information theft, the organisation’s leaders realised the company was facing significant risk due to weaknesses in its approach to data protection and information governance. FTI Technology partnered with the organisation’s law firm to quickly assess existing practices and implement a new framework to reduce overall risk.
Case Study
After entering an agreement to a large and complex cross-jurisdictional merger, TGS and PGS positioned the outcome as a “stronger and more diversified geophysical company and data provider to the energy value chain,” with a reported valuation of more than US$860 million. The transaction spurred parallel merger control investigations initiated by the U.K. Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) and the Norwegian Competition Authority (NCA), requiring TGS to collect, review and produce internal documents. TGS engaged FTI Technology to lead discovery and document review to support the needs of the merger response. The CMA and NCA approved the deal, allowing TGS and PGS to complete the deal on 1 July 2024.
Case Study
When an agriculture company became the subject of breach of contract allegations from one of its IT service providers, it needed to access technical project management information to prove its counterclaims in the dispute. The company and its service provider had used Azure DevOps as the project management platform for the work that was the source of the litigation, presenting the legal team with the challenge of collecting data from a complex non-traditional source. Outside counsel engaged FTI Technology’s emerging data sources experts to ensure critical evidence could be accessed and collected in a fulsome, forensically sound manner.

Intentional Disruption: Synchronizing Strategy, Technical Needs and Risk Along the AI Journey
A new class of technological force has descended on society and business with the recent breakthroughs in generative artificial intelligence. In the span of a few years, a decade’s worth of change has taken root. That change is barreling forward so rapidly and prevalently that regulation, commerce, ethics, data protection, business functions, culture and governance are ill-equipped to keep up. At the same time, opportunity abounds.

Key Challenges in White Collar Crime Investigations
More than one-third of businesses in the U.S. are affected by white collar crime and studies have estimated that approximately 40% of large organisations in Europe have been impacted. Fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, insider trading, financial misstatement and intellectual property theft cause annual losses estimated at up to US$1.7 trillion. In recent years, there have been some significant developments in the prosecution of white collar crimes globally, with enforcement activity increasing by more than 50%.
