What to have defined
- Documented authority to obtain, receive, preserve, or examine the evidence.
- The best available original source and known provenance or custody history.
- The precise technical question and any expert, litigation, retention, or disclosure constraints.

WHEN THIS SERVICE FITS
Built around a defined operational question.
- Counsel or an authorized matter owner needs technical support identifying and preserving electronically stored information.
- Potentially relevant data spans devices, cloud systems, email, collaboration, file shares, or business applications.
- Collection and handoff must preserve metadata, source context, and legal decision boundaries.
SCOPE
What the engagement can include.
The exact scope is established by the authorized assignment, applicable licensing or professional requirements, and client guidelines.
OPERATING MODEL
Controlled from assignment through handoff.
Scope
Counsel or the matter owner defines custodians, sources, date ranges, legal scope, preservation obligations, and production authority.
Map
Identify technical sources, access paths, retention risks, export methods, and data volume without expanding the legal scope.
Preserve
Collect or coordinate preservation using documented methods that retain source and metadata context.
Handoff
Transfer authorized material and technical collection records to counsel, review platform, or qualified discovery provider.
WORK PRODUCT
What the matter can produce.
- Source map
- Preservation/collection record
- Technical metadata inventory
- Hash/reference manifest
- Controlled handoff record
CONTROL BOUNDARY
What keeps the work defensible.
- MODLAN provides technical support, not legal discovery advice.
- Privilege, relevance, responsiveness, proportionality, and production decisions remain with counsel/authorized decision-makers.
- Collection is scoped to lawful authority and minimizes unrelated data propagation.
- Evidence is not represented as admissible merely because it was technically preserved.
SERVICE FAQ
Procurement and operating questions.
Is this a law firm service?
No. MODLAN supports the technical evidence workflow; legal strategy and discovery decisions remain with counsel.
Can cloud and mobile data be included?
Yes, where authorized and supported by the relevant collection method.
Can this preserve metadata?
The architecture is designed to preserve source and metadata context where the source/export method exposes it.
Does MODLAN host document review?
That depends on the engagement; technical collection and secure handoff can operate independently from review hosting.
