Engagement
GDF supported attorneys, private investigators and U.S. Marshals on a civil seizure. The client’s intellectual property, in this case garments, were being counterfeited and sold throughout the United States. GDF supported the seizure team by locating additional locations during the seizure, as well as gathering digital evidence onsite, eliminating the need to remove and return computers and other electronic devices, working within the collection scope directed by the seizure team and counsel.
The work involved onsite preservation during an authorized civil seizure; it does not establish a particular damages result. Collection authority, permitted locations and handling of devices must follow the applicable order and counsel’s instructions. The published account provides no engagement date or independently documented financial outcome.
