Gifford & Co. is a specialist consultancy firm focused on enabling organisations to understand and manage the legal risks flowing from the dark side of the digital revolution.

Data leakage, cyber crime, and targeted theft of trade secrets by hackers are now resulting in billions of dollars being lost from the global economy. Those who suffer loss and damage in the fall out from such incidents are now launching law suits to recover compensation.

This presents organisations with a whole new landscape of legal risk – but these risks are barely on the radar of most lawyers. At the same time, whilst IT experts may understand information security at a technical level, they have little knowledge of the potential legal exposures flowing from security breaches – why would they?

Management of these new legal risks requires a multidisciplinary approach – which is where Gifford & Co. comes in.

With a wealth of subject matter expertise in both law and information security, Gifford & Co. brings an integrated, multidisciplinary capability to an important new field that is rapidly emerging as the 21st century’s biggest corporate risk management challenge.
