An experienced cyber and technology partner has been added to Hall & Wilcox’s Sydney office, moving over from HWL Ebsworth Lawyers.
Responding to the increasingly complex cyber environment, Hall & Wilcox has hired its newest Sydney partner, Zoe Tishler.
The appointment also comes at a time when cyber incidents are increasingly intersecting with regulatory, privacy, insurance, employment and broader commercial issues.
Having advised insurers, brokers, and organisations on managing privacy and cyber risks, Tishler has become a highly regarded cyber and privacy lawyer with deep sector expertise.
Chief executive partner Graydon Dowd said cyber was an area where the firm sees significant opportunity to build on existing strengths.
“Cyber is no longer an issue that sits within one part of an organisation. The legal, regulatory, commercial and reputational implications are increasingly interconnected, and clients need advisers who understand that broader picture,” Dowd said.
Dowd said Tishler brings “outstanding technical expertise” and commercial judgement, “particularly when supporting clients through complex and high-pressure cyber incidents”.
“Her appointment gives us greater depth in an area that will only become more important to our clients,” Dowd said.
Commenting on her move, Tishler said she was excited to join the firm “and to have the opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of the firm’s cyber practice”.
“It’s an area that continues to evolve rapidly, and I’m looking forward to working with the team and supporting clients as they navigate increasingly complex cyber and privacy challenges,” Tishler said.
