From ransomware to phishing, targeted hacks, malware, or IP theft, the cyber threats to every business continue to grow in number and complexity. Many breaches occur by exploiting vulnerabilities, through human error or the actions of an insider and that in some cases, can go undetected for months.

Law firms: should you purchase a wills bank?

A wills bank is a centralised storage system for original wills and estate planning documents, often used by law firms to manage and safeguard clients' testamentary documents.

Purchasing a wills bank can provide law firms with long-term client retention and business opportunities. However, it also comes with regulatory responsibilities under the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Code of Conduct and potential implications for your insurance.

In this article we explore the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a wills bank, the compliance and insurance risks to consider, and how risk mitigation can help you overcome some of the disadvantages detailed below.A wills bank is a centralised storage system for original wills and estate planning documents, often used by law firms to manage and safeguard clients' testamentary documents.

Cyber-physical risk in the marine sector: a wake-up call from the MSC Antonia

The recent grounding of the MSC Antonia near the Eliza Shoals off Jeddah on 10 May 2025 has brought into sharp focus the real-world consequences of cyber-physical attacks in the maritime sector – and particularly within the MENA region. Analysis by respected maritime intelligence firms such as Pole Star Global and Windward indicate that the vessel's navigational systems were likely compromised by GPS jamming, leading to incorrect positioning data and ultimately to the grounding incident.

This event underscores the growing cyber threat to vessel movement in the region – one with potential outcomes including groundings, collisions, and environmental harm. For MENA, where critical trade routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal are lifelines of global commerce, the implications are particularly serious. Regional security dynamics, increased reliance on digital systems, and proximity to cyber-capable nation-state actors elevate both the frequency and severity of these risks.

Despite this, in our work with marine clients across the Middle East and North Africa, we continue to observe a significant disconnect between emerging cyber threats and existing risk transfer arrangements. That gap must close before the next incident occurs.
