Who we are
Echo Digital Forensics is a specialist digital forensics and investigation practice focused on clarity, accuracy and practical insight.
The firm was founded on the principle that a small, highly experienced and independent team, supported by strong leadership, continuous professional development and advanced technical capability, can deliver exceptional digital forensics and e-Discovery services.
We help organisations clearly understand digital events, whether they involve suspected data misuse, fraud, theft of intellectual property, leaks, workplace issues, or financial misconduct. Our work often supports:
internal investigations and governance processes
HR and workplace matters
regulatory engagement
civil and criminal legal proceedings
We combine forensic precision with clear communication, ensuring our findings are not only technically sound but usable.
Echo Digital Forensics was founded by Leanne Balit, bringing together deep technical capability with a calm, considered approach to complex investigations.
Leanne has over 15 years’ experience in digital forensics and e-Discovery, spanning both regulatory enforcement and the private sector. She has been engaged as an expert in hundreds of complex and sensitive matters, including criminal litigation, financial fraud, corruption, employee misconduct, theft of intellectual property, media leaks and metadata analysis.
Her approach is guided by a simple principle:
rigorous forensic work, communicated clearly and thoughtfully.
