Every October, the headlines start to sound a little… spooky.
But for law firms, the real fright isn’t ghosts it’s data breaches.

From ransomware attacks disguised as client emails to insider leaks that vanish “into thin air”, cyber threats are becoming more cunning by the day. And in the legal world, where trust is everything, one wrong click can haunt your reputation for years.

But here’s the good news: the best defence isn’t magic. It’s method.

The Legal World’s Weak Spot

Law firms hold gold mines of confidential data, contracts, mergers, client records, IP. That makes them prime targets for cybercriminals.
The problem? Many still rely on ageing infrastructure, basic access control, and a patchwork of “good enough” security tools.

Add hybrid working into the mix, and you’ve got a perfect storm of risk.

The Smart Move: Trust, But Verify

It’s time to take a page out of the Zero Trust playbook assume no device, user, or network is automatically safe.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Segment access so staff only see what they need.
• Encrypt everything, everywhere.
• Automate backups and test recovery (because ransomware loves untested systems).
• Educate your team - because research shows that 91% of attacks start with a human.
