Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's commercial law firms could expose M&A data rooms, contracts and escrow funds, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why commercial law firms are targeted: Insider knowledge of unannounced deals is valuable to market abusers, and completion escrow transfers are lucrative to fraudsters.
