The Questions Every Legal Team Should Ask Before Collecting a Smartphone
What information do you actually need from a mobile device? It’s a simple question, but one that can dramatically impact cost, privacy, defensibility, and review time.
In this episode of the ModeOne Podcast, CEO Matthew Rasmussen welcomes Jim Norman of Proteus for a practical discussion about how mobile collection strategies are evolving.
Together, they explore why the traditional “collect everything” mindset is giving way to targeted, defensible collections that preserve relevant evidence while minimizing unnecessary personal data.
Topics include:
- Common misconceptions about mobile collections
- Recovering deleted messages and why timing matters
- How Apple updates can impact collection workflows
- Ways to reduce review costs through targeted collection
- Practical guidance for balancing preservation with privacy
Whether you’re supporting litigation, internal investigations, or regulatory matters, this episode offers actionable advice for making better mobile collection decisions.
