Cyopsis offers in-house and outside legal counsel a full array of services in support of civil and criminal litigation and trials, defending against government investigations and enforcement actions, and alternative dispute resolution processes.  Cyopsis personnel and partners have years of experience in government and private investigations, federal and state prosecutions, and  legal defense, making us intimately familiar with every stage of the litigation process.  Although Cyopsis provides no legal counsel to its customers, the extent of our personal and technical expertise gives Cyopsis tremendous flexibility in customizing solutions for particular client needs, whether they involve investigations, dispute analysis, forensics, electronic and paper discovery, expert testimony, or trial preparation and presentations. The following list of services is therefore merely a sampling of the litigation support services Cyopsis can provide.

Investigations

Cyopsis utilizes both human and IT investigators to track down information needed in litigation.  We work closely with counsel in conducting timely, efficient, and effective investigations in cyberspace and in the “real world,” both in the U.S. and abroad.  Cyopsis uses cutting-edge technology and top IT experts to find, process, and analyze massive volumes of data to unearth relevant information.  We can provide technological services in our own lab or on-site.  Some of our investigative services include:

Dispute Analysis

Because Cyopsis team members have such extensive personal experience conducting government investigations, federal and state prosecutions, and civil and criminal trials from both sides of the aisle, Cyopsis can assist management and legal counsel in developing a realistic picture of the strengths and weaknesses of particular cases.  Although Cyopsis does not render legal advice to clients, we work closely with legal counsel to provide information and expertise that can make all the difference in the outcome of a dispute. Cyopsis investigators help reveal important information bearing on a dispute.  Cyopsis helps clients anticipate and prepare for likely actions by authorities and opposing counsel.  Finally, Cyopsis can assist clients in shoring up evidentiary and other weaknesses in their presentation of a case and identifying which methods of resolving a dispute may be the most promising.

Forensics and Expert Testimony

Cyopsis gathers and analyzes evidence for use by our clients in civil and criminal litigation.  Cyopsis professionals are expert in the technical and legal requirements for admitting evidence at trial, and we conduct all our investigations and analysis with evidence preservation, chain of custody, and foundation in mind.  Cyopsis’s IT forensics experts can work both on-site and in our own lab, imaging drives and data-sets in accord with forensic IT standards and best practices.  Our forensics capabilities include:

Cyopsis can also provide litigation consultants and experts for forensic IT testimony at trial.  Whether counsel's goal is to put on expert forensic IT testimony in their own case, or consult with our forensic IT experts in order to gather materials for, and prepare effective cross-examination of their adversary's expert, Cyopsis can offer invaluable assistance.

Discovery

Cyopsis helps clients structure and conduct both paper and electronic discovery.  Cyopsis’s state-of-the-art technology is a powerful tool in identifying, collecting, processing, analyzing, and producing electronic records in a timely, comprehensive, and cost-effective manner.  Cyopsis conducts in-lab and mobile services, and can provide secure data hosting.
