Our global Risk and Resilience team delivers solutions that help clients protect against or adapt to short-term and long-term change. We have the expertise to support clients through the various dimensions of risk including:

Enterprise risk

Changes to the commercial, legal and societal landscape have meant that organisations are faced with increasingly complex and interconnected challenges, risks and opportunities. Many of those changes, in turn, have resulted in governments, shareholders, consumers, employees and other stakeholders placing a greater emphasis on governance, oversight, accountability, transparency, compliance and earning a “social license to operate”.

We assist our clients in identifying, evaluating and managing risks at the enterprise level across their business in this challenging commercial landscape.

Cyber risk

High-profile cyber security incidents are being reported in the press with increasing regularity and cyber risk is quickly rising up the board agenda. We have one of the longest-standing privacy and cyber security teams in Europe and have been advising clients since the inception of data protection laws more than 20 years ago. With the addition of veteran cybersecurity attorneys in the United States and Asia, our team is truly global and spans over 100 lawyers in Asia, the U.S and Europe.

• Crisis management in response to a hack or serious cyber incident – from supporting internal investigations and advising on securing and recovering data to advising on the board and management’s reporting responsibilities and liaising with regulators and law enforcement officials.
