Hall & Wilcox‘s cyber team advises on the whole life cycle of a cyber claim, from triaging incidents to managing forensic investigations and post-incident advisory services. The team is co-led by Eden Winokur and John Gray in Sydney, and Alison Baker in Melbourne. Baker has experience with both GDPR and the Privacy Act 1988 issues; Gray specialises in commercial transactions in the cyber field; and Winokur’s practice spans cyber, privacy, dispute and insurance matters, within Australia and internationally. Clients range from large commercial bodies to healthcare providers; the latter is a specialism of Sydney-based Alison Choy Flannigan.
