Our Managing Partner Alan Chiu recently moderated a full-house seminar on “Securing the Legal Frontier: Proactive Measures Against Cyber Threats”, organised by The Law Society of Hong Kong Society’s Practice Management Committee.

The session brought together leading experts, including Mr Felton Leung, Chief Inspector of the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, and Mr Horace Ma, Head of Public Mission – Cybersecurity at HKIRC. Together, they shed light on the reality that even the world’s most renowned law firms have fallen victim to cyberattacks, while case studies on local incidents highlighted just how vulnerable our profession can be.

From the latest cybersecurity statistics and trends for Hong Kong law firms to the business impact of data breaches, the seminar explored the pressing challenges faced by both large and SME firms. Practical guidance was also shared on incident response protocols, operational safeguards, and resilience strategies to strengthen defences in the digital age.

We are thrilled by the energy, engagement, and thoughtful discussion from attendees—clear proof that cybersecurity is a top priority for the legal community today.

Stay tuned for more insightful knowledge-sharing sessions from ELLALAN as we continue to help safeguard the profession against evolving risks.
