Why cyber lawyers will be so busy in 2025

Lawyers Weekly Podcast Network

In addition to the continued acceleration of cyber, data and privacy breaches globally, there has been a raft of legislative and regulatory reform in the past 12 months. Taken together, lawyers in this space “are going to be very busy” in the coming year. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Pinsent Masons partner Veronica Scott about working in such a consequential legal practice area, her takeaways from 2024 and what can be learnt from reforms in this space, the consequences for practitioners in advising clients, and what the new laws will look like in practice.

Scott also delves into the extent to which clients are willing to work with legal on such matters, why 2025 is shaping up to be such a frantic year for practitioners in this space, how lawyers can better manage themselves and their practices against the backdrop of such voluminous workloads, and why it remains such a meaningful area to practice law in.
