As the exchange and accumulation of data in cyberspace increases with the development of information and communication technology, the importance of forensic analysis of digital data in criminal proceedings, administrative investigations, and corporate internal investigations continue to increase.
To effectively and systematically respond to the growing importance of digital data, Jipyong launched the Digital Forensics Practice Team in March 2020. With the addition of a number of leading experts to our Team, including Mr. Sueng Dae PARK, the former Deputy Chief Prosecutor II of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office; and Mr. Dong Young LEE, an expert in the field of digital forensics who worked as an IT investigator for the National Prosecutor’s Office for many years, the Team has expanded to the scale of a sizable department in November 2023. Through such expansion, the Jipyong Digital Forensics Practice Center is equipped with the best and most well-recognized experts, as well as deep resources, technology, and infrastructure.
Jipyong’s Digital Forensics Practice Center provides optimal solutions to our clients in the process of responding to inspections, investigations, and corporate internal investigations through top-notch digital evidence analysis by closely working with other related groups at Jipyong, including its Criminal Defense Group, Antitrust Disputes Team, Finance Group, Labor & Employment Group, Compliance Team, Crisis Management Team, and Human Rights Management Team.
