Goodwin Partners’s Data Breach Investigation

Goodwin Partners LLP (“Goodwin”), a professional services firm, recently confirmed a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized party accessed its internal network. The intrusion took place over a two-week period between August 28, 2025, and September 12, 2025. After detecting the breach, Goodwin immediately launched an investigation and brought in third-party cybersecurity professionals to assist in containing the threat and analyzing the extent of the exposure.

A comprehensive forensic review revealed that the attacker may have accessed or acquired a limited amount of personal information. While the full scope of data involved has not been disclosed, the firm has confirmed that names and potentially other identifiers were included.

By December 23, 2025, Goodwin had completed its internal investigation and began notifying affected individuals. Although no cases of identity theft or fraud have been reported as of now, Goodwin is offering complimentary credit monitoring services through IDX to help individuals safeguard their identities.

The incident serves as a reminder that law firms and service providers—entrusted with confidential and sensitive information—are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals. In today’s digital age, even limited exposure of personal data can have serious consequences, making timely notification and protective services essential.
