What does the coming year hold for cyber law? In an NLJ special, seven members of 36 Commercial share their expert reflections and predictions on this most salient area of development. As Dean Armstrong QC notes, the practice of cyber law is ‘quite simply, fascinating’.

The insights cover data protection, data breach, ransomware attacks, cyber insurance, artificial intelligence, regulation of cryptoassets and blockchain. Paul Schwartfeger explains how ‘the simplicity [blockchain] promises also looks likely to provide fertile ground for lawyers’. Racheal Muldoon predicts FCA guidance on cryptoassets in 2022. Celso de Azevedo relays alarming insurer predictions of rate adjustments of up to 100%.
