Forensicon Presents "Using Computer Forensics to Conduct Investigations" to the Institute of Internal Auditor's Chicago West Chapter
CHICAGO: May 10, 2006 - On Tuesday, May 9th, 2006, the Institute of Internal Auditor's Chicago West Chapter hosted Forensicon's President and CEO, Lee Neubecker, as well as Cameron Nelson, a Patent and Trademark Attorney with Greenberg Traurig, who presented an afternoon 3.0 CPE credit seminar in Warrenville, Illinois titled, "Using Computer Forensics to Conduct Investigations".
This event was organized by the chapter to provide up to date information
on the technologies that support forensic auditing. The attendees to this
seminar learned how to effectively preserve electronic information and
received an overview of how companies can deploy computer forensics as a
tool to protect their intellectual property and identify and prosecute
corporate fraud. This co-presentation allowed the best of both worlds for
internal auditors as Mr. Neubecker provided details on the technological
aspects of computer forensics while Mr. Nelson provided insight into the
legal intricacies of deploying computer forensics as an investigative tool.
Mr. Neubecker's expertise stems from his experience as the President and CEO
of Forensicon, a computer forensics firm based in Chicago, Illinois and
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mr. Nelson, whose areas of practice includes patent
infringement and validity analysis, patent prosecution and patent
litigation, drafting of license agreements, state court intellectual
property claims, and counterfeit product policing and enforcement, has
worked together with Mr. Neubecker on high profile trademark and patent
infringement litigation. Having worked together, both experts are able to
lend a practical aspect to their presentation on how technology and auditing
can work in concert to successfully accomplish specific outcomes.
