Cyber incidents & data breaches
Establish which information and people are affected. Assess notification duties, contractual obligations and potential claims. Prepare a documented account to inform decisions and communications.
Services / How we can help
Litigation &
investigations.
Legal support for disputes, cyber incidents, data breaches and harm involving AI. We also help your organisation develop its knowledge, tools and skills.
01 / Pursue the right result
Litigation & dispute resolution
Assess the case clearly. Pursue it with determination.
We pursue and defend commercial and financial disputes, with a focus on Switzerland. The work begins with your objective and a candid assessment of the facts, the law and your prospects.
The scope includes contract and shareholder disputes, contested transactions, liability and recovery. We develop the evidence and legal strategy together, considering urgent protective measures, negotiation, proceedings and enforcement.
- Assess the case.
- Connect claims and defences to the evidence, applicable law and loss. Examine contrary evidence, important gaps and the cost of resolving them.
- Choose a strategy.
- Compare realistic routes against the commercial objective, timing, cost and recovery prospects. Agree the next stage and what would justify a change of course.
- Carry it through.
- Prepare and pursue the agreed course through negotiation, litigation or settlement. Reassess the case as evidence develops and address enforcement where needed.
What your organisation retains
A current case assessment, the evidence supporting each claim and defence, and an action plan with costs, responsibilities and review points.
How AI supports litigation
AI tools can help examine records, trace events, compare accounts and test arguments. We check material claims and legal authorities against their sources, keeping disputed facts, contrary evidence and unanswered questions in view.
We agree who is responsible, where proceedings may be brought, what specialist support is needed and how information may be used. The professionals responsible retain judgment, advocacy and authority to act.
02 / Establish the facts
Internal investigations
Establish what the evidence supports and what comes next.
When an allegation, unexplained transaction or failure of oversight raises difficult questions, we help boards and legal teams establish the facts and assess their response.
We use AI tools to examine records within the agreed scope. Legal judgment directs the inquiry: which explanations to test, what the evidence establishes and what it means for your organisation.
Protective measures and reporting decisions may require action before the full picture is available. We address them alongside the inquiry.
Define the inquiry.
Establish the concerns to examine, immediate decisions, relevant people and records, who will receive the findings and any specialist support required.
Build the record.
Identify the sources and agree how records will be preserved and collected. Track what has been received, reviewed or remains missing.
Test the accounts.
Examine records and interview relevant people. Test competing explanations and check material findings against original evidence, including evidence that points the other way.
Explain what follows.
Present supported findings, disputed points and remaining uncertainty. Assess the available responses and identify the decisions, responsible people and further work required.
What your organisation retains
Findings linked to their evidence, a clear account of material uncertainties and recommended next steps, with agreed access and retention.
The working record connects the chronology, supporting material and findings. Investigation records have their own access and retention arrangements.
How AI supports the inquiry
AI can help organise and search records, develop chronologies and identify connections, contradictions and questions for further inquiry. We select and test the review method for the records and questions involved. Material findings are checked against original sources; gaps in the available record remain visible.
People direct interviews, assess competing accounts and take responsibility for conclusions. An AI-generated summary is a working aid, not evidence that an event occurred.
Before information is processed, we agree permitted uses, access, provider arrangements and retention. The scope also identifies where specialist expertise or jurisdiction-specific professional arrangements are needed.
Discuss an investigation
A brief description is enough to begin. Please wait to share documents or sensitive details until we have agreed how to handle them.
03 / Respond to the consequences
Cyber, data & AI incidents
A legal response grounded in the facts.
A cyberattack, data leak or unexpected AI action can require immediate decisions and lead to claims or proceedings. We help establish what happened, assess obligations and potential claims, and decide what to do next.
We coordinate legal work with your team and the technical, forensic or other specialists agreed for the matter. Evidence preservation, reporting decisions and measures to limit harm proceed alongside the investigation.
Information disclosed through AI
Examine what was shared through prompts, uploads or connected tools, who could access it and what the permitted uses were. Assess the consequences for personal and confidential information.
AI decisions & agent actions
Investigate faulty recommendations, contested decisions or actions beyond an agent’s authority. Trace the instructions, permissions, oversight and events relevant to responsibility and loss.
Manipulated records & impersonation
Examine suspected synthetic or altered documents, images, voices and communications. Preserve their context, test authenticity with appropriate expertise and assess the available legal response.
What your organisation retains
A developing account of the incident, an assessment of obligations and potential claims, and a record of decisions, notifications and follow-up work.
When AI is part of the incident
An AI system may itself be the subject of the inquiry. We examine the available record of source information, instructions, outputs, approvals and actions. Relevant logs, versions and provider arrangements can help establish what happened and what remains uncertain.
A convincing output does not establish its accuracy or origin. Findings need corroboration, and a system’s own explanation of its behaviour needs to be tested against the observed events. Any AI tools used in our review have their own agreed access and checks.
04 / Build on the work
Advice & organisational capability
Beyond a particular dispute or inquiry, develop the knowledge, tools and working methods your organisation needs.
Legal advice & strategic judgment
Assess a consequential decision while there is time to influence it. Test assumptions, compare the legal options and explain the recommendation and remaining uncertainty.
Workflow design & implementation
Adapt or build tools around real tasks, people and sources. Test the workflow on representative work, prepare operating instructions and agree handover and maintenance.
Data & organisational knowledge
Connect reliable sources and your colleagues’ knowledge. Keep decisions linked to their evidence and reasons, with appropriate access and responsibility for keeping the record current.
Individual & team development
Develop skills on real tasks: finding information, framing questions, assessing AI outputs and coordinating work. Help people use these methods independently and share them.
Data sovereignty & agent control
Define permitted data and agent use, examine provider limits and make activity reviewable. Test whether responsible people can investigate, intervene or pause the work.
Continuing advice & improvement
Review agreed legal questions, sources and working methods as circumstances change. Keep issues, actions and responsibilities current within defined coverage and support.
What your organisation retains
Depending on the engagement: advice linked to its sources, tested workflows and review cases, operating instructions and practical skills. Knowledge gaps, permissions and responsibilities remain clear, with an agreed handover or continuing support.
Where to begin
A defined piece
of useful work.
Start with a dispute, a concern that needs investigating, a consequential decision or a way of working you want to improve.
We establish the goal and current position, then agree the first stage of work: what it will produce, the information and involvement it needs, who is responsible, what it will cost and when we will review it.
At that review, we decide whether to continue, adjust or conclude.
For implementations, a legal engineer works alongside your team to test the result and prepare its operation and maintenance. Lessons can improve later methods, tests and software. Any reuse of your information or confidential business know-how requires agreement.
Value & working arrangementsIllustrative work / Advice & capability
What the work
can produce.
Advice & a decision
A clear basis for
a supplier negotiation.
Connect the agreement, amendments, earlier advice and current business needs. Assess the available options before the renewal narrows them.
The result sets out the key terms and dates, a recommendation, alternatives and open questions, with someone responsible for the next step and clear reasons to revisit it.
We are exploring interactive legal memos that let teams test different assumptions while keeping reviewed advice distinct from new analysis and questions still requiring review.
Knowledge, systems & people
Prepare for changes that affect your decisions.
Use permitted sources and colleagues’ expertise to connect selected regulatory developments with changes in your organisation and industry. Identify risks, opportunities and decisions that need attention, with gaps in coverage made clear.
We are exploring AI-assisted forecasting and scenarios to test how a decision could fail and what would need to go right. Keep evidence and forecasts distinct, test assumptions and compare forecasts with actual outcomes. Record who acts and when to review.
Forecasting for legal decisionsThese examples illustrate possible work products. They are not client case studies or claims of measured results.
Across every engagement
The right support
for the work ahead.
For implementation work, your organisation can operate the result, share the work or arrange continuing support.
Jurisdiction-specific legal advice and representation are undertaken through the appropriate professional arrangements. Implementation and ongoing operation have their own named responsibilities.
