Cyber Advisory – before, during and after.
A cyber incident can damage or destroy a business in hours. The organisations that survive and recover fastest are those that prepared properly, responded decisively and had the right advisers in their corner throughout.
ABOUT
What we do.
Cyber Advisory at Law & Cyber is distinct from our legal practice in an important way: it is focused on the operational and governance dimensions of cyber risk — the frameworks, plans, exercises and advisory support that determine how prepared your organisation is when something goes wrong.
The two practices are deliberately integrated. A cyber risk framework that is not legally grounded will have gaps. An incident response plan that has not been reviewed for legal and regulatory obligations will fail at the moment it is needed most. Our advisory work is informed at every step by our legal expertise — which is what makes it different from the advice of a pure-play cyber consultancy.
This includes the AI dimension of cyber risk — both as an evolving threat and as a governance challenge. AI-enabled deepfakes, voice cloning and targeted social engineering are now active threats to Australian businesses across every sector. They exploit human trust in ways that technical controls alone cannot address. At the same time, the obligations governing how organisations deploy AI in regulated and client-facing contexts are hardening. We incorporate both dimensions into our advisory work — because an organisation's AI posture and its cyber posture are increasingly the same thing.
We work with boards, executive teams, general counsel, CFOs and chief risk officers who understand that cyber resilience is a governance issue, not just an IT one.

WHY CHOOSE US
The Law & Cyber difference.
Most cyber advisory firms are not law firms. Most law firms are not cyber advisory practices. Law & Cyber is both — which means our clients receive advisory support that is grounded in legal reality, not just technical best practice.
When we review your incident response plan, we are reviewing it against your actual legal obligations — notification timelines, privilege considerations, regulatory reporting requirements and insurance obligations. When we advise your board, we are advising them on their governance duties as well as their operational responsibilities. That integration is not something you can replicate by engaging two separate firms.
We also advise on the governance and culture obligations that now apply to AI use in regulated contexts — including the Federal Court's GPN-AI practice note and the NSW Supreme Court's SC Gen 23. For organisations navigating the intersection of AI adoption and legal or regulatory obligation, that is an advisory capability that very few practices can provide.
