Simone Herbert-Lowe has joined the global cyber practice of BigLaw firm Clyde & Co.
Herbert-Lowe (pictured), who won the Innovator of the Year (Individual) category at the 2022 Lawyers Weekly Women in Law Awards, has joined Clyde & Co as a partner.
She brings, the firm said in a statement, more than three decades of experience in legal, insurance, and risk management, including eight years in cyber risk, governance, and regulatory strategy. She regularly speaks on technology-enabled risk and legal obligations, and as part of Clyde & Co’s global Cyber One team, she will help organisations navigate cyber threats, compliance challenges, and risk governance.
Herbert-Lowe founded advisory firm Law & Cyber in 2018.
She is set to form part of Clyde & Co’s global Cyber One offering and will lead the future growth of the firm’s Australia practice, “in tandem with the complex and high-value claims and value proposition our global Cyber One offering provides to clients”.
“In that context, our Australia team is further strengthened by the hire of Simone Herbert-Lowe as a partner. Simone and the Australian team will work hand in hand with our Cyber One regional and global partners and lawyers,” the spokesperson said.
“Our global and local Australian clients are fully supportive of our continued offering, strengthened by additions such as Simone, such that we have the breadth and depth of capabilities required to service the needs of our clients in Australia and internationally.”
In conversation with Lawyers Weekly, a firm spokesperson said Clyde & Co’s cyber practice has a strong and substantial continuing cyber team in Australia, focused on the growth of cyber operations across the country.
Speaking about the hire, Clyde & Co partner and global cyber co-head Helen Bourne said: “Simone’s hire will help further build out our global offering.
“The firm regularly acts for large corporates who look for one cohesive team of advisors around the world who can handle all client needs. With Simone joining, the Australia practice will flourish and remain a cornerstone of our global offering.”
The firm’s Australian managing partner, Rebecca Kelly, said: “I am delighted that Simone is joining the firm. She will be instrumental in growing our Australian cyber offering, which forms part of our strong global service offering.
“Cyber incidents are front of mind across the business community, and we look forward to helping our clients navigate this risk.”
Herbert-Lowe said: “Joining Clyde & Co will allow me to combine my decades of experience with the strength of a global platform, to be able to service client needs, navigate cyber risk, and respond to any incidents in the most effective manner, being part of a large global team of experts.”
