Data Protection Lawyer

Associate / Senior Associate – Data & Cyber | London

Please double check you have the right level of experience and qualifications by reading the full overview of this opportunity below.

A London law firm is looking to hire at both Associate and Senior Associate level into its Data & Cyber practice.

The role is intended to be broad, with work split across data protection/privacy and cyber matters rather than sitting exclusively within one specialism. The team handles a mix of advisory, regulatory, incident response and disputes-related work for clients across a range of sectors, including consumer-facing businesses, insurers and not-for-profit organisations.

The team is particularly open-minded on background. They would be interested in speaking with lawyers who have experience in areas such as:

• Data protection and privacy advisory work
• Cyber incidents and breach response
• Regulatory and compliance matters
• Data-related disputes
• A combination of privacy and cyber work

Candidates could come from private practice, an in-house legal team, or have experience across both. An in-house background is viewed positively, particularly where someone has had meaningful responsibility for data protection, privacy or cyber matters.

The team is also open to candidates who have followed a less traditional qualification route, including those who have qualified through the SQE, where the underlying experience is relevant.

There is no requirement to be a pure cyber specialist or a pure data protection lawyer. The preference is for someone who is interested in developing across both areas and is comfortable working on a varied practice.

Beyond technical experience, the team places a significant emphasis on how someone works,particularly collaboration, judgement, client skills and the ability to operate comfortably within a close-knit team. xwzovoh

This could therefore suit someone with a strong Data/Cyber foundation whose background does not necessarily fit the conventional City law firm mould.
