Data breaches and cyber issues

From breach management and representation in enforcement, to prevention and readiness, we can help solve your cyber and data law issues quickly and effectively. 

Information security is a fundamental requirement in our digital society. Done well, it reduces attacks and increases customer trust. Done badly, systems breaches and errors can be a business critical event.

We can support you at every stage as you address cyber issues:

Prevention: Working together to develop sound data governance
Advice: Clearly setting out legal requirements and options in support of your projects
Response: Effective data breach management
Recovery: Helping you to implement changes and providing tactical advice to mitigate risks of related litigation and regulatory action
Training: Providing recommendations and hands-on training to meet your needs
