Cybersecurity Lawyers

Legal advice throughout the full life cycle of cybersecurity incidents.

In this section

With 32% of all UK businesses experiencing a cybersecurity breach in 2023, cybercrime remains one of the most pressing legal issues.

Cybersecurity breaches can be highly complex and far-reaching, resulting in substantial financial, legal and reputational damage. With the law around cybersecurity developing rapidly and crossing jurisdictions, businesses need an experienced legal team to provide the technical and practical expertise they need to stay protected.

We advise on the full life cycle of cybersecurity incidents — from building resilience by developing proactive governance and risk management measures to assisting with incident response management and disclosure to the National Cyber Security Centre and Information Commissioner's Office.
