Evidence that proves its own integrity.
Contracts, powers of attorney and evidence exhibits carry an independent proof of existence and integrity. Counsel demonstrates that an exhibit is byte for byte the document that existed before proceedings began.
What gets sealed
Final executed versions sealed at signing, killing later version-swapping arguments outright.
Sealed at grant, so the scope of authority at any past date is provable.
Documents, images and correspondence sealed on intake, before litigation strategy exists.
How it runs day to day
The firm seals documents on intake and at execution as standard practice.
Proofs are stored in the matter file next to the documents.
Nothing about content or parties leaves the firm, only salted digests.
Before the tribunal, verification shows each exhibit predates the dispute untouched.
Opposing counsel suggests a key email chain was assembled after the fact. Its seal verifies against an anchor dated long before proceedings began. The authenticity challenge collapses without a single expert witness.
The alternative is dueling forensic experts on metadata and mail servers: slow, costly, and never quite conclusive.
