A&L Goodbody renews partnership with NI Cyber to strengthen legal and cyber resilience across Northern Ireland
A&L Goodbody Northern Ireland (ALG) has renewed its strategic partnership with the Northern Ireland Cyber Security Cluster (NI Cyber) for a further year, continuing a successful collaboration focused on sharing legal expertise, promoting best practice and supporting the region’s growing cyber security ecosystem.
Since first partnering in 2024, ALG and NI Cyber have worked closely to deliver a series of workshops and events aimed at helping Northern Ireland’s businesses and organisations navigate the complex and evolving cyber and data regulatory landscape. The renewed partnership will build on this momentum, with further in-person and online sessions planned throughout 2025/2026 to help firms strengthen their legal readiness in the face of increasing cyber risk.
Speaking about the renewed partnership, Michael Neill, Head of Office at A&L Goodbody, said:
“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with NI Cyber. The work the cluster is doing to build collaboration, capability and awareness across Northern Ireland’s cyber sector is vital. As legal partners, we’re committed to supporting that effort by sharing insights on the regulatory and legal frameworks that underpin cyber resilience and data protection.”
Simon Whittaker, Chair of NI Cyber, added:
“A&L Goodbody’s support has been instrumental in helping us grow our membership and deliver high-quality, practical events for the cyber community. Their legal expertise adds real value to our members, helping them stay ahead of compliance requirements and emerging risks. We’re pleased to continue this partnership for another year.”
The partnership aligns with both organisations shared ambition to enhance Northern Ireland’s cyber and data security capability, helping firms of all sizes stay compliant, competitive and prepared in an increasingly digital economy.
