The recent cyber attacks

You have probably seen the recent cyber attacks with huge companies like M&S, Harrods, Adidas and even one on the Legal Aid Agency.

The Legal Aid Agency have experienced major disruptions across its digital services, delaying payments and hampering communication with legal aid providers. This is having a detrimental effect on them. For solicitors and clients who heavily rely on these services every day, the fallout has been deeply frustrating and in some cases, distressing.

This incident is a distinct reminder that the legal sector is not immune to growing cybersecurity threats. As law firms and agencies become more digital, the need for strong data protection and crisis-response planning is more urgent than ever. This is extremely important to businesses and cannot be ignored.

Legal professionals must stay proactive, investing in cyber resilience, training staff on digital risk and maintaining contingency plans to ensure service continuity in times of disruption.
