Summary
Immediately secure and preserve all potentially relevant electronic evidence — implement a litigation hold, isolate devices from networks (airplane mode/unplug), disable cloud sync and remote‑wipe features, and engage a qualified digital forensic examiner to create forensically sound images that preserve metadata and a documented chain of custody to avoid spoliation. Coordinate with counsel to inventory accounts and devices, securely record credentials (do not alter or delete files without attorney direction), and follow discovery protocols so ESI remains admissible, privileged material is protected, and you minimize the risk of sanctions or evidentiary exclusion.
