Oculus’s Litigation Support Services are specifically designed to support a client and their legal team in realising their legal objectives, be it civil, regulatory or criminal in a jurisdiction relevant to the client.

Our Intelligence experts are specialists in collecting, handling and processing data efficiently, and in keeping with standardised legal disclosure principles. This includes technical exploitation of electronic systems and data sets and processing vast volumes of data, be they stored electronically or on hard copy.

Oculus’s will liaise directly with a client’s legal counsel and will act under their guidance. Oculus can also provide case management services and provide global support to counsel and/or law enforcement bodies. This service is ideally suited to support private prosecutions.

Oculus is able to provide the majority of its Litigation Support services as part of the UK’s Legal Aid Agency’s guidelines, and specifically the UK’s Civil Legal Aid (Renumeration) Regulations. This product is specifically designed to provide Oculus’s expert services to cases in the UK’s public interest, where a party may not usually be able to gain access to the necessary professionals due to financial constraints. Oculus does not provide this as a commercial service.

Oculus is able to provide a project management service to clients who about to embark into litigation against another, or several other parties. Oculus can help select the correct legal team from its extensive network, including from specific partners in international or a jurisdictionally specialised law firm, and any necessary expert advice that is required for the case. Oculus’s close relationships with several litigation funders could allow access to funding should the client require it.

This service can:

• Significantly reduces the burden of managing a legal team;

• Provides cost oversight for the duration of litigation; and

• Arms the client with top international legal experts who can provide an overarching strategy for the selected legal team to execute.

Oculus has extensive experience in investigating and submitting Whistle Blower claims into the United States’ Whistle Blower programme. The programme allows for an individual with a case relevant to the US jurisdiction to submit information, intelligence or evidence into the US’s Whistle Blower programme for investigation by US law enforcement. The Whistle Blower, who can be treated as a confidential source, are then able to financially benefit from their submission.

The successful submission of a claim relies on constructing the case in a format that is prescribed by US law enforcement. Additionally, due to the volume of submissions which US law enforcement receives, Oculus utilises its network to ensure a Whistle Blower’s case is accepted, reviewed and investigated properly.

Oculus works in partnership with a Whistle Blowers to provide this service.
