In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, cybersecurity laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complex and vital to business operations. With governments and regulatory bodies continually updating requirements to address emerging threats, organisations must be proactive to avoid costly penalties, operational downtime and reputational risks.
Our international team brings deep expertise across all aspects of cyber security, helping clients stay ahead of shifting legal frameworks while safeguarding their operations. We support clients with comprehensive advice on the full spectrum of:
- Preparation and prevention: cyber advisory and compliance, corporate transactions, audits and investigations support; and incident response planning.
- Containment, eradication and recovery: responding to cyber incidents (including ransomware attacks, nation-state espionage, business-email compromise fraud, phishing attacks, insider incidents, ‘bad leaver’ security issues and social engineering attacks); and crisis management.
- Post-incident activity: investigations (regulatory and internal); high-stakes, complex cyber disputes; and post-incident analysis.
With in-depth knowledge of UK and international regulatory frameworks - including the UK GDPR, NIS Regulations, DORA, the Cyber Resilience Act and sector-specific requirements – we help clients strategically navigate emerging threats, regulatory investigations, and enforcement actions. Our experience spans both public and private sectors, across a diverse range of industries.
