Cybersecurity and data protection will remain front of mind in 2026
ACTIVITY
The past 12 months have been a period of real momentum for Whitney Moore. We’ve supported clients across a broad range of matters, from complex transactions and disputes to employment, regulatory and day-to-day advisory work.
What’s been most encouraging is the nature of the conversations. Clients are involving us earlier and more strategically, often as part of their wider advisory team, rather than only when something becomes urgent.
We’ve also strengthened our partnership with a number of senior additions, enhancing our depth across key practice areas.
Internally, we’ve focused on collaboration, drawing on the experience and judgement across the firm to deliver practical, joined-up advice. It’s an approach that’s grounded in commercial reality and built around how clients actually want to work.
CLIENT CHALLENGES
Cybersecurity and data protection will remain front of mind in 2026. The real challenge for clients isn’t just regulation; it’s understanding risk in a practical, proportionate way.
Businesses want advisers who can help them prepare properly, respond calmly when issues arise, and work seamlessly with internal teams and external specialists.
That means combining technical expertise with clear communication and perspective.
FUTURE TRENDS
We see continued opportunity in working closely with business owners, leadership teams and their trusted advisers, particularly accountants, as they navigate growth, investment, restructuring and succession.

The demand isn’t just for legal expertise; it’s for clarity and sound judgement in an increasingly complex environment. Strengthening those referral relationships matters to us.
When lawyers and accountants understand each other’s clients and priorities, outcomes are better all round.
