Addleshaw Goddard has appointed James Moss as director of cyber investigations, reinforcing its global investigations team and expanding its cyber and data-related disputes capabilities. Moss, formerly director of enforcement at the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), brings significant expertise in handling complex, multi-jurisdictional cyber incidents. ‘I’m excited to be joining AG and look forward to building on the firm’s cybersecurity practice,’ he says.
With more than a decade in private practice at DLA Piper, Moss has advised on a range of regulatory and white-collar crime matters. His appointment follows the recent arrival of digital disputes specialist James Hyde, strengthening the firm’s ability to advise on both civil and criminal aspects of cyber and data-related litigation. ‘His arrival complements that of James Hyde, enhancing our capabilities across cyber and data investigations,’ says Erin Shoesmith, head of environment, health and safety.
Moss will play a key role in the continued growth of Addleshaw Goddard’s tech group, which is expanding its contentious practice. His appointment, alongside other senior hires, underscores the firm’s commitment to innovation and excellence in digital and regulatory disputes.
