Cyber law will be pivotal in shaping the future regulatory and litigation landscape, but what challenges and opportunities can we expect to see in 2022? To end this special series, 36 Commercial share their expert reflections and predictions on this fascinating area of law

Introduction

Dean Armstrong QC, joint Head of Chambers https://36group.co.uk/members/dpaqc

The richly diverse nature of the law and regulation outlined in these excellent articles paints a vivid picture of why the practice of cyber law is, quite simply, fascinating. These succinct but enormously useful summaries take us from consideration of the UK’s future direction on data through how the law may need to review the relationship between man and machine, to how the use of recent technology will impact on the ancient world of art provenance. Stimulating subject matter indeed and eminently well presented by our expert Cyber team at 36 Commercial.
