Cyber & Tech

Our specialist cyber claims insurance lawyers are ahead of the curve advising global insurers and household brands on cutting edge data issues.

Overview

Businesses operate in an increasingly complex maze of data protection, privacy and cyber security laws and threats. And, with many hundreds of varied, high profile and international multi-sector data breach incidents within our experience, we frequently present to large insureds and intermediaries as part of the cyber insurance sales process – we can do the same for you. 

We have successfully defended multiple claims relating to cyber exposures against technology companies and are well versed in advising across the full range of court proceedings, arbitrations, mediations, ADR, contract management and escalation procedures. Our experience spans the areas of data breaches, crisis management, cyber-crime, cyber/data extortion, data risk, technology E&O, hacker damage, liability coverage, theft and TMTs.

Combining our market leading technology expertise and our reputation as a ‘go to’ firm for many leading technology companies with our deep understanding of the insurance industry, we also specialise in defending claims against technology businesses and consultants on behalf of their insurers.

We have a proven track record in handling claims of all sizes and complexities – from large, high-profile disputes to small claims against SMEs and start-ups. Thanks to our market-leading position in the non-insurance sector, we’re also a popular choice for insureds.

Never an 'add on' everyone in our core team has data breach response, cyber insurance and technology disputes as the main focus of their work. The breadth of our service offering across different levels ensures that we can allocate work to the right person at the right level, which in turn provides you with additional cost efficiencies.

Additionally, we have leading non-contentious data advisory and data and privacy practices dealing with ICO enforcement and complex data litigation. These disciplines come together with the data breach response and cyber insurance elements of the cyber insurance team to form one of the most well-rounded and formidable data teams in the City.
