WK Advisory

Helping you prevent, prepare for and respond to emerging risk

Today’s risk environment is complex, fast-moving and unforgiving.

Boards, executives and insurers are under increasing pressure to anticipate risk, prevent incidents and make decisions that stand up to scrutiny, not just after an event, but before one occurs.

WK Advisory provides forward-looking, risk advisory to help organisations navigate this complexity with confidence.

Advisory for modern risk

As the nature of risk evolves, from cyber and privacy threats to regulatory and operational exposure, organisations need support that goes beyond traditional legal advice.

WK Advisory works alongside our legal specialists to deliver integrated, strategic risk insight that helps clients:

Prevent

Helping identify, assess and mitigate emerging risks before they crystallise.

Prepare

Strengthening governance, readiness and response capability to reduce impact when incidents occur.

Respond

Providing coordinated, practical support when risk events unfold, aligned with legal, regulatory and insurance considerations.

Why WK Advisory?

Built on more than two decades of experience in the insurance and risk ecosystem, our advisory capability is supported by:

Insurance and risk is in our DNA

We are a specialist insurance and risk law firm, trusted by insurers, corporates and government for advice in high-stakes environments. Advisory is a natural extension of what we already do.

Working alongside legal experts

Our advisory services are grounded in deep legal and regulatory insight, ensuring decisions are commercially sound and legally defensible.

Specialist, not generalist

We focus on areas where risk is most acute and complex, bringing depth, precision and real-world experience rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Practical, real-world experience

Our teams advise on live incidents and emerging threats, particularly in cyber and privacy, giving our advisory work immediate relevance and credibility.

Cyber, Data and Technology Advisory

Cyber risk is one of the most significant and rapidly evolving threats facing organisations today.

WK Advisory’s initial focus is Cyber, Data and Technology Advisory, expanding our established cyber practice to support clients earlier, before incidents occur, and throughout the full risk lifecycle.

Our Cyber Advisory offering helps clients:

Assess and manage cyber and privacy risk exposure

Improve preparedness and incident readiness

Navigate critical business considerations

Align technical, legal and strategic responses
