Cybersecurity incidents and data breaches pose an existential threat to businesses of all sizes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Cybersecurity team comprises experienced lawyers and an extensive professional network. We can provide retained engagements to ensure we are conflict cleared and ready to respond on demand. Our approach is to engage other key incident response and forensic service providers to ensure their services are engaged for the purpose of privileged legal advice to our clients. We help clients meet regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions, and to engage with and respond to privacy and regulatory authorities in subsequent enquiries. We guide our clients through the maze of legal issues that arise in cyber attacks \u2013 ransom assessment, sanctions advice, management of contractual risk, co-ordination with enforcement authorities, legal considerations in reputation management, fiduciary duties of directors and officers, and review and assessment of technical reports for legal advice and risk management. We help our clients with restoration and remediation work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cyber risk is about people and processes. We support our clients with their risk management efforts in this area. We advise clients on policies, plans and processes to help improve their security posture, and manage and mitigate risk in the cyber threat environment. We pay particular attention to helping clients with their incident response plan, and the processes underpinning that crucial document. We also guide clients on cybersecurity laws and regulations in Hong Kong, and in various jurisdictions throughout the Asia Pacific region and worldwide. Cyber risk is not just a technology issue, though we deeply understand technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prevention of cyber incidents requires training and awareness programmes. We have led clients with tabletop exercises, data breach simulations and more specific direct legal training. We have briefed Board and C-Level executives on their roles, functions and duties in a cyber incident. We have partnered with third party organisations to deliver training programmes that integrate business, legal, technical, incident response and communication elements. We are the exclusive legal partner with Singtel for its Hong Kong Elevate programme, targeted to medium-sized business in Hong Kong. <\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
