BRG Strengthens Asia-Pacific Cyber and Forensic Technology Practice with Senior Sydney Hire

BRG has announced the appointment of Avram Lum as a director in the firm’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) Cyber and Forensic Technology practice, based in Sydney.

Lum brings nearly twenty years of experience in forensic technology, eDiscovery, digital investigations, cyber incident response, post-data-breach review and legal technology, including practical and defensible use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models in legal and investigative workflows. He advises clients on complex electronic evidence issues arising from cross-border litigation, regulatory investigations, major cyber incidents and multijurisdictional disputes. He has led eDiscovery and forensic technology practices across Australia, New Zealand, India and China.

“Avram’s appointment significantly strengthens our ability to support Australian clients facing complex investigations, high-profile cyber breaches and cross-border disputes”, said Erick Gunawan, leader of BRG’s APAC Cyber and Forensic Technology practice. “Clients across Australia will benefit from direct access to deep forensic technology expertise with Avram on the ground, backed by the full strength of our regional team”.

Mustafa Hadi, BRG’s regional lead in APAC, added: “I am delighted to welcome Avram to the firm. He brings technical depth and regional experience that will make an immediate impact for our clients in Australia and across Asia-Pacific, enabling us to deliver even more sophisticated and integrated services to our clients in disputes and investigations”.

Lum’s appointment is the latest senior hire that reflects BRG’s sustained momentum in Asia-Pacific. Since 2025, the firm has expanded its regional footprint across multiple practice areas, including the addition of competition economists Dennis Beling, Dorcas Kwan and Aiden Lo—as well as Jay Gomez and Winston Young in the Cyber and Forensic Technology practice—in BRG’s Hong Kong office. These appointments underscore BRG’s commitment to deliver integrated, end-to-end advisory services to clients navigating complex disputes, investigations and regulatory matters in APAC and beyond.
