The Team

Our company commercial practice is split into a number of work product groups: which include privacy, cyber security and information law, technology, IP and commercial contracts. The privacy and information law team is a strategically important part of our company commercial practice that is further expanding to meet client demand.

Our privacy and information law team handles major projects for some of the largest clients in the world. We are independently ranked for our expertise in international data privacy, freedom of information/transparency and cyber security laws. We enable our lawyers to stretch their skills and gain experience few other law firms can offer. Our long term recognition of this as a distinct and dedicated practice area, means that you will have the opportunity to focus on and further deepen your practice in this exciting and evolving field, in a strong and supportive team, which has a respected track record and deep expertise.

The Role

We have an opportunity for an Associate/Senior Associate to join our specialist and highly regarded privacy and information law team. The successful candidate will work as part of our substantial national privacy team (comprising over 20 lawyers across the UK), undertaking international data protection, transparency and other information law related work on behalf of a wide range of businesses in a wide range of sectors.

Ideally, you will be at least 3 to 8 years PQE within Data Privacy and information law with a real passion for this area and an aptitude for learning the applicable legislative framework. Particular experience within FOIA/EIA would be an advantage given the breadth of work the team undertakes in this increasingly complex area.
