To ensure your data breach claim is successful, you must get professional legal representation. But choosing a lawyer can be daunting. Not least because – should you get it wrong – your decision could prove to be a costly mistake. If you have been the victim of a data breach or cybercrime, what should you look out for when choosing a lawyer?
If you want to secure justice for a data privacy failure, you need a specialist data breach lawyer. Especially as large organisations appoint their own data breach specialist defendants to make the problem go away.
When it comes to winning cases against big players, understanding the law is only half the battle. You also need experience in group action cases. Make sure your solicitors have significant experience in fighting consumer cases. This will ensure they understand what it takes to go up against big players and win.
For law firms without the necessary resources, it can be difficult to justify the time required when cases are deliberately dragged out by the other side. The last thing you want is to appoint a firm that will run out of steam.
Claiming can take time. There are documents to complete, and the process can become tiresome if not handled correctly. Select a firm that adheres to the highest standards of client care and removes the hassle from the process.
*To ensure you don’t receive sub-standard advice, representation and care, you should always check that the firm is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Firms regulated by the SRA meet the high standards set by the regulator. It also means that you are appropriately protected should anything go wrong.

With stolen data, cybercriminals can make purchases using your bank and credit cards, apply for credit in your name, set up fraudulent bank accounts and access your existing online account.
Cybercrime and data breaches can have a significant impact on you, both mentally and physically. They can cause or exacerbate anxiety, stress and other psychological condition.
Your data has value, and organisations must be held to account if they fail to protect your right to data privacy.
One of the things that worries people the most about making a claim, is that they might have to pay expensive solicitor fees. However, it is possible to make a no-win, no-fee data breach compensation claim with a professional solicitor.
But what does no-win-no-fee actually mean? And how can you be certain that there are no hidden charges and unexpected costs?
Here are three quick questions to ensure you know what it will cost you to make a data breach or cybercrime claim.
