Alvarez & Marsal has strengthened its Forensic Technology practice in Greater China with Benson Mak.
Appointed a Senior Director, Benson Mak will focus on growing the firm’s forensic technology, eDiscovery and cybersecurity offerings. Based out of Alvarez & Marsal’s Hong Kong office, Mak will serve clients across multiple Asian markets.
Mak joins the global management consulting firm after five years at law firm Baker McKenzie where he latterly was Associate Regional Director for the Global eDiscovery & Data Advisory practice.

He has worked for multinational corporations (including Fortune 500 companies), government bodies and regulators.
“As data security and cybersecurity requirements tighten around the region, we see a significant rise in the number of domestic and cross-border investigations and disputes requiring forensic technology,” said Davin Teo, Managing Director and Asia Head of the Forensic Technology practice.
“Seventy-five per cent of Alvarez & Marsal’s forensic technology assignments are repeat business. Client feedback highlighted the quality of our services and speed of response as the key drivers of value and change. Benson’s unique skillset aligns with our operational focus while his extensive legal expertise provides a competitive edge in the market.”
