Data and Cyber

We have strong relationships with policy makers, regulators, and industry bodies in Europe, the UK, Asia and the U.S., giving us unique insights into risks and opportunities.

We take a holistic approach to data – working on cutting-edge data compliance, commercial and contentious mandates for leading global clients, often in highly regulated sectors. Our data team’s unparalleled view across the multiplicity of issues affecting data allows us to provide pragmatic, risk-based advice. 

We specialise in advising on cyber preparedness, response, remediation and investigation. We have advised on many high-profile cyber incidents, while much of our best work never reaches the public domain.

• Experian: advising on the ICO's investigation into its use of data for analytics and marketing and on its successful appeal against ICO action to the First-Tier (Information Rights) Tribunal.
• Capita: advising  (as replacement counsel) on all aspects of its very high profile data incident.
• Genomics England: advising on complex data privacy issues relating to the use of genomic data for research and related purposes.
• A range of clients: advising on all aspects of their cyber preparedness, including risk assessments, policies and procedures, third party mitigations, Board briefings, war games and more.
• A range of global clients: advising on the enhancement of their GDPR privacy compliance programmes to incorporate compliance obligations drawn from new digital regulation, and accommodate new U.S. and Asian privacy legislation.
• Global regulated organisation: advising organisation on the response to the largescale compromise of commercially sensitive and personal information in over 140 countries (including on related injunctions and criminal proceedings).
