Illustrative exhibit. The references and figures are fictional.

Every dispute turns on evidence you can prove and money you can actually recover. This two-page collaboration note sets out how NARADism works alongside litigation and arbitration counsel in India as an independent forensic, digital evidence and intelligence partner, and where that support fits into the life of a matter.

Who it is for

The note is written for disputes and arbitration counsel who need forensic accounting, digital evidence or asset intelligence on a live matter, and who want to understand how that work can be instructed so that privilege is preserved where available.

What it covers

The note maps NARADism's support to five stages of a dispute:

  • Case assessment: forensic review of the facts and money trail before pleadings, and a realistic view of what can be proved and recovered.
  • Pleadings and evidence: fraud investigations, document authenticity checks and fund-flow reconstruction.
  • Disclosure and discovery: eDiscovery, email review and device forensics with Section 63 BSA certificates, and defensible collection and preservation.
  • Hearing: expert reports on quantum, forensic accounting and digital evidence, with experts available for cross-examination.
  • Enforcement: asset tracing against judgment debtors and award debtors to support execution and attachment.

It then summarises six capabilities: forensic accounting and quantum; digital forensics and eDiscovery on an AI-native platform; asset tracing for enforcement; fraud and misconduct investigations; document authenticity and forgery review; and discreet, lawful witness and counterparty intelligence, including white-collar defence support in EOW, ED and PMLA matters running alongside the civil dispute.

How the collaboration works

NARADism works under counsel's instruction, so work product is prepared for litigation and privilege is preserved where available. Reports are drafted to be annexed and experts are prepared to depose. The note suggests starting with a single matter, such as a quantum review, a device forensic exercise or an enforcement asset trace, and judging the collaboration on the output.

Who NARADism is
