The data protection team at DAC Beachcroft LLP is described by clients as ‘clear, approachable and down to earth’, and is very adept at managing the responses to damaging cyber incidents or ransomware attacks. The team is particularly well respected in the real estate and insurance sectors, but has experience which extends to the tech, education and healthcare industries. The team is jointly led by the ’practical and immensely knowledgeable’ Jade Kowalski, who is involved in a lot of artificial intelligence governance matters, and the ‘first class’ Hans Allnutt, who spearheads the team’s contentious offering, having been involved in the response to several high-profile cyber attacks. In May 2024, Peter Given joined the team from EY Law and was followed by Andy Lucas from Dentons in November.
