About Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland represents the combination of two firms with a shared culture and commitment to client service excellence. We are each known for our commercial awareness and industry knowledge and for providing innovative and tailored solution for every client.

As a full service law firm, we act for the public and private sector across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and the USA, providing legal advice to clients across the following practice groups: company commercial, human resources, litigation and dispute management, real estate and Konexo.

With 68 offices across 32 countries worldwide, we have become one of the largest law firms in the world and a great place to work and develop your career.

The Risk Team consists of the firm’s in-house counsel team headed by the General Counsel working with lawyers and other colleagues around the business to develop and implement effective policies and procedures and ensure compliance with new legislative and regulatory requirements. The Risk Team also manages the firm’s insurance, claims and in-house legal matters, and oversees other issues affecting the firm’s risk profile and reputation. The Risk Team is successfully creating a robust framework for managing risk across all parts of our business, which continues to expand internationally.  

As part of the Legal & Regulatory Compliance Team within Risk, this role will involve assisting the team in the development and roll-out of data related risk and compliance initiatives across all of Eversheds Sutherland’s offices, as well as assisting on a wide range of day-to-day data related matters that arise in a firm like Eversheds Sutherland.
