Data and Cyber

Our experienced global Data team advises on all aspects of data, including on privacy, “big data”, confidentiality, secrecy, IP rights, commercialisation, cyber and crisis response

Our Data and Cyber practice is over thirty years old and is one of the most sophisticated and experienced anywhere in the world. We have good relationships with policy makers, regulators, and industry bodies in Europe, the UK, Asia and the US, 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 give you pragmatic, risk-based advice. We are business enablers.

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