Managing cyber threats: Protecting your business, brand and IP

As part of our sponsorship of Birmingham Tech Week (19-23 October), we're delighted to be hosting an in-person breakfast seminar on Tuesday 20 October: "Managing cyber threats: Protecting your business, brand and IP".

A cyber-attack can have far-reaching consequences beyond immediate operational disruption, creating complex legal, regulatory, contractual and reputational challenges for businesses. 

This seminar will explore the critical issues organisations need to consider before, during and after a cyber incident, including data protection obligations, contractual liabilities, regulatory reporting requirements and crisis management strategies. 

In this context, our experts will also discuss practical steps to protect intellectual property, trade secrets and brand assets to help businesses strengthen resilience and minimise the impact of a cyber-attack.
