About Downstreem

A Proven Forensics Partner

Downstreem is a global digital forensics practice with a proven track record of partnering on high profile and highly sensitive legal matters.

We know that eDiscovery companies are typically focused on large volume processing and hosting – with forensics a “checking the box” exercise vs. a thinking “outside the box” solution.

We know better.

Founded by Forensics Experts

Downstreem was founded by forensics professionals with a commitment to challenge the status quo every day and create a common-sense client experience that radically improves the collection and review of documents, files, and emails from custodians’ mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, computers, external drives, file shares – and more.

Adapting to an Evolving Market

Our forensics and advisory solutions reflect our clients’ eDiscovery and compliance requirements and our hands-on experience with evolving market dynamics, including:
Mobile Devices
93%of smartphone owners use their phone for work every day.
Social Media and Messaging
70% of employees use social media and messaging apps at work.
Remote Work
66% of employees work outside of the office, at least part time.
Greener Litigation
90% of companies now publish ESG reports - and expect their partners to facilitate their carbon neutral goals.
Data Security
64% of companies worldwide experienced at least one form of cyber-attack in the past year.

Mission & Values

We are committed to using real-world experience, advanced technology, and common sense to disrupt and reinvent how digital forensics solutions are designed, developed, and delivered to our clients. The Downstreem forensics solution suite is purpose-built to align our clients’ priorities with our company’s core values:
Constructive Disruption
Only in digital Forensics is common sense disruptive. With Downstreem, custodians don’t lose access to their phone during collection, forensics teams don’t need to travel on-site, and texts and other digital messages look like they do on your phone during review to save time and money.

We deliver what’s good for our clients, not what’s easy for us.
Enduring Partnerships
We build professional and technical relationships to last. Whether it’s enhancing industry-standards with innovative custom solutions or delivering ongoing value to clients and to each other, Downstreem invests for the long-term.
Golden-Rule Service
Every Downstreem interaction delivers C-suite-level service, no matter who we’re working with. We value each interaction as a Golden-Rule moment:to treat others the way we expect to be treated.
Practical Sustainability
Downstreem is part of the global community; we each have a role to play to develop and promote Greener Litigation solutions. Our remote collection tools and web-based client portal means less travel and more paperless interactions.
Radical Transparency
It’s in our DNA – and in our product design. With no hidden information or fees, you have 100% access to what we know and what we do on your behalf. You’re only ever 1-click away from instant project insight.
Essential Integrity
Downstreem’s people, processes, and solutions are consistently reliable and work to keep you compliant. Integrity and ethics center all of our actions and interactions. We know it’s
essential to our our clients’ and Downstreem’s success.
