Three RPC cyber partners join DAC Beachcroft, making it the only firm with two UK Chambers-ranked cyber breach lawyers. They will handle cross-border data breaches.
DAC Beachcroft has hired three cyber partners from RPC for its international Cyber and Data Risk practice. Richard Breavington is joined by Rachel Ford and Daniel Guilfoyle.
The three were partners in RPC's Cyber & Technology Insurance team, which Breavington led. They advise insurers and corporates on high-value, multi-jurisdictional cyber incidents and data breaches. They also handle technology errors and omissions claims, coverage disputes, policy wordings, privacy litigation, and recoveries.
The appointments make DAC the only law firm with two UK Chambers and Partners-ranked lawyers for Cyber and Breach Response.
Hans Allnutt, Head of Cyber at DAC, said the hires form part of strategic investment in a practice that serves clients across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. He pointed to growing client demand for technology errors and omissions expertise, regulatory investigations, and privacy litigation. "We are thrilled to have Richard, Dan and Rachel on board to respond to these demands," he said.
Breavington said cyber risk continues to evolve and insurers face pressure to deliver swift, coordinated responses across multiple jurisdictions. He cited DAC's cyber specialists in most of its international offices and the practice's reputation in insurance expertise. "We're all very much looking forward to being part of that team," he said.
