CyberCrime Law
Digital protection in an evolving threat landscape.
Cybercrime is one of the fastest-growing threats to UK businesses and individuals. Our cybercrime law team provides specialist legal advice at the intersection of criminal law, data protection, cybersecurity regulation, and information security governance.
We advise businesses on cybersecurity legal obligations under multiple overlapping regulatory frameworks, represent organisations through the immediate legal crisis of a cyber attack, and defend individuals accused of computer-related offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. Our team understands both the technical and legal dimensions of cybercrime — we can engage meaningfully with your CISO and incident response team while simultaneously managing regulatory notifications, law enforcement engagement, and litigation risk. This dual capability enables us to provide advice that is practical, technically credible, and effective.

“We engaged Masl Legal for an arbitration seated in London under LCIA rules, involving a £1.8m claim arising from a terminated distribution agreement across the Middle East. Their strategic approach to document production and expert evidence was exceptional — they identified a critical contractual estoppel argument that the opposing party's firm had overlooked entirely. We secured a favourable award of £1.4m plus costs, resolved within 12 months of commencement.”

“When we engaged Masl Legal for our corporate restructuring, we were preparing for a seed fundraise while simultaneously integrating an acquisition. Their corporate team structured a group reorganisation that satisfied our incoming investor's requirements, preserved our R&D tax credit eligibility, and resolved legacy shareholder issues through a bespoke drag-along mechanism. The transaction completed on schedule and we closed our £2m seed round three weeks later.”
