The use of computer
forensic investigations during the course of an employee
dispute or other labor and employment law issue is one of
the foundations of Computer Evidence Recovery, and several
of our senior investigators solely specialize in this area.
Our computer
forensics practice was established under the direct supervision
of our forensics director and noted computer forensics expert,
Kevin Ripa. Mr. Ripa is a noted authority and speaker on
computer forensics and computer related investigations like
internet profiling and email tracing. This practice area
has grown significantly since its inception, and the national
reputation of the firm has grown with its size.
Beginning with
employers in Calgary, Alberta, and expanding across the
country, we have aggressively entered the employer defense
arena. One of the keys to our success in this area is ability
to quickly come to an employer’s location and make
a forensically sound image of the hard drive of an employee
that this employer is terminating who may pose a threat
to the company. We then retain this image and hold it in
our evidence locker if and until our client needs to have
a complete forensics analysis. This gives the client a sort
of evidence insurance policy in the event that litigation
ensues. This is an excellent approach not only regarding
problem terminations, but is also very prudent for exiting
high level executives.
As more and more
employees leave on their own accord, but end up trying to
fight non-compete agreements or are in a position to take
vital company data with them when they leave, Computer Evidence
Recovery is available to conduct our forensic computer investigations
on computers associated with these departed individuals.
We are also heavily involved in computer forensics aimed
at rooting out criminal activity within an organization.
Because we are
licensed private investigators and not “computer consultants”,
we are able to provide our detective-client privilege to
our computer forensic cases, giving our clients an additional
level protection they cannot find elsewhere.
We have helped
to successfully defend both private and public employers
in class action law suits and complex litigation across
North America. Our forensic computer investigations are
likewise heavily involved in the defense of wrongful discharge
cases, contract and commission claims, implied employment
contract claims, slander and libel claims, negligence and
negligent retention claims, and whistleblower claims. We
also have an extensive practice prosecuting and defending
trade secret, breach of fiduciary duty cases, and more.
Our investigators regularly provide expert testimony about
their forensic data investigations in courts literally from
coast to coast.
If you are an
employer faced with a troubling employee termination, violation
of a non-compete agreement or you suspect that an employee
may be involved with some type internal fraud or theft of
proprietary data, call us at 403 703 4846.
