Josie Welland is a Senior Associate in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications team at CMS London, specialising in cybercrime and digital fraud enforcement.

Josie helps clients investigate and enforce a wide variety of cybercrime, fraud and other digital threats to clients and their customers, including brand impersonation, phishing, tech support fraud, and business email compromise.
