We couldn't help noticing Erin Nealy Cox's inclusion on the Dallas Business Journal's "40 Under 40" list of the city's top young business minds this year. Erin, managing partner and deputy general counsel for the global digital forensics firm Stroz Friedberg, has packed an incredible amount of accomplishments into her career, and she's not even 40 yet.

A former federal prosecutor, Ms. Nealy Cox previously served as the Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Coordinator for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division. She led major cyber-crime prosecutions across the United States, including the first-ever federal prosecution of a rogue Internet pharmacy operation, and also handled numerous complex white-collar fraud, public corruption, intellectual property theft and child-exploitation cases. During her Department of Justice career, Ms. Cox also served as chief of staff and senior counsel for the Office of Legal Policy at Main Justice in Washington, D.C. Erin now leads the high-tech computer forensics lab and Dallas offices of Stroz Friedberg, a global leader in cutting-edge digital and traditional investigations. At Stroz Friedber, she helps clients in matters ranging from theft of intellectual property to lost laptops, click fraud to online review, load files to leaked confidential information, internal corporate data wiretapping to white collar defense investigations, database forensics to corporate hacking incidents, cyber-extortions to fabricated e-mails — and all other matters, digital and investigatory.
