Cybersecurity

Strategic legal support for organisations managing cyber risk, security incidents, and evolving regulatory obligations. We help businesses prepare for, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity challenges.

Managing Cyber Risk with Confidence.

Security isn’t treated as a separate topic in our practice, it’s built into the contracts and policies we draft across every practice area. On the contractual side, we help clients put security obligations, breach provisions and related terms into their agreements and policies.

What We Handle

Cybersecurity obligations and contractual risk allocation: Advise on cybersecurity and information-security provisions in commercial and technology contracts, including security standards, technical and organisational measures, access controls, confidentiality, incident notification, cooperation obligations, audit and compliance rights, subcontractor requirements, business continuity, indemnities, and limitations of liability.

Security-aligned data protection policies: Advise on developing and reviewing information security, data protection and privacy policies to align contractual commitments and internal processes with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including requirements relating to data handling, access, retention, security safeguards and third-party service providers.

Cybersecurity incident and breach response: Advise on the legal and contractual response to cybersecurity incidents and data breaches, including incident assessment and escalation, preservation of evidence, contractual notification and cooperation requirements, regulatory and stakeholder communications, engagement with affected counterparties and service providers, remediation measures, and management of potential claims and liability arising from the incident.
