Nicholas Scullion

Scullion LAW, which was targeted in a ransomware attack, earlier this year, is the fourth legal firm to join Cyber and Fraud Centre’s Incident Response Cadre.  

The cadre is a programme that helps organisations get back on their feet after experiencing cyber and fraud attacks. The law firm, which has offices in Hamilton, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Madrid, will join a network of IT and specialist cyber security service providers, alongside Burness Paull, Brodies LLP and Anderson Strathern.

As part of National Cyber Security Month, Cyber and Fraud Centre CEO, Jude McCorry, is hosting a fireside chat with Nicholas Scullion, managing director of Scullion LAW to discuss his first-hand experience of navigating a cyber breach. He will provide practical tips, valuable insights, and lessons learned that can help any business enhance its cybersecurity resilience and better prepare for future threats.

He said: “My team has experienced the impact of cybercrime first-hand, and we know exactly how it feels to be in an urgent situation and come out stronger as a result. Through joining Cyber and Fraud Centre’s Incident Response Cadre, we will be able to put our renewed energy into our new one-stop shop service, helping organisations survive the first 28 days and improve for the future.

“Companies can often feel like they are at fault when they fall victim to a cyber attack, therefore it is vital that they are equipped with the knowledge required to prepare for, respond to, and recover from an attack. 

“We are uniquely positioned to offer a comprehensive legal and consultancy service, based on our lived experience of a cyber attack. We look forward to offering our award-winning service to affected organisations, working together to defeat cyber criminals and protect jobs.”  

Jude McCorry, CEO of Cyber and Fraud Centre, said: “As levels of cybercrime in Scotland continue to increase, it has never been more important for organisations to prepare for the possibility of being targeted.

“As a social enterprise, we are in a position to help smaller organisations understand the implications and prepare and protect themselves. The addition of Scullion LAW to our dedicated cadre will help us to extend our support even further. As an organisation that has lived through a cyber attack, the firm will act as a key incident response partner to smaller organisations as part of their incident response plan, ensuring day-to-day help is available when trying to get back on their feet.”
