Our Services
Meridian Edge was founded by a former senior leader with 25 years’ experience in law enforcement forensics. Having navigated the realities of high-stakes investigations, complex disclosure, and operational pressures, we know the challenges leaders face because we’ve lived them.
We now bring that expertise to organisations that need sharper strategy, stronger leadership, and forensic capabilities that deliver — whether in the courtroom, the boardroom, or the frontlines of investigation. Meridian Edge exists to turn deep sector knowledge into practical, measurable outcomes for our clients.

Our Approach
At Meridian Edge, we operate as trusted advisors, not just consultants. Our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of the forensic and investigative sectors — shaped by decades of real-world experience. We work in partnership with clients to unpick their most complex challenges, delivering tailored strategies that reflect their operational context, constraints, and ambitions.
Every solution is bespoke, every recommendation evidence led. We measure success not by reports delivered, but by capability enhanced, risks mitigated, and outcomes achieved.
Bridging People, Process & Technology in Investigations
Forensic Services for Law Firms & Regulators

Forensic Services for Law Firms & Regulators
Law firms and regulators increasingly encounter complex, high-stakes investigations where forensic evidence is pivotal — yet access to credible, senior-level forensic expertise is limited.
Without expert oversight, investigations risk flawed methodologies, missed evidence, and vulnerability to challenge in court or regulatory proceedings. The cost isn’t just reputational, it’s cases lost, fines issued, and justice denied.
Our Solution: Every case is led personally by our founder — a forensics leader with over 20 years’ experience managing complex digital forensic investigations for national agencies and regulators. We provide forensic acquisition, analysis, reporting, and expert witness services, all delivered to evidential standards that withstand the highest levels of scrutiny.
Cyber Security & Data Breach Response
Forensic Services for Law Firms & Regulators
Forensic Services for Law Firms & Regulators
Organisations lack the expertise to investigate and contain complex data breaches, cyber incidents, and insider threats — leading to mismanaged responses and compromised evidence integrity.
Poorly handled breaches risk regulatory penalties, litigation exposure, reputational damage, and loss of critical data. Inadequate forensic readiness also weakens post-incident investigations.
Our Solution: We provide expert-led incident response consulting, integrating forensic methodologies with cyber defence. Our services include breach triage, root cause analysis, evidential data capture, and strategic advice to strengthen resilience and regulatory posture.
FSR Code of Practice Compliance
Forensic Services for Law Firms & Regulators
Forensic Team Design & Leadership
Many forensic units and service providers lack the systems, processes, and governance needed to comply with the Forensic Science Regulator’s Codes of Practice and ISO 17025 accreditation standards.
Non-compliance risks evidence being ruled inadmissible, regulatory sanctions, and a loss of stakeholder confidence — consequences that can derail prosecutions, investigations, and reputations.
Our Solution: Led by a recognised expert who has successfully accredited and multiple national forensic laboratories, we provide end-to-end consultancy on achieving and sustaining FSR compliance and ISO 17025 accreditation. Our tailored approach covers gap analysis, quality management systems, validation frameworks, proficiency testing, and audit readiness — ensuring clients meet the highest evidential and regulatory standards.
