An international law firm with a highly regarded and well-established Privacy and Cyber practice in London is looking for an experienced Associate to join the team.

The group is genuinely well known in this space, trusted by some of the world's best-known consumer brands and major technology companies, and has handled a number of high-profile cyber incidents.

‍

About the team

This is a close-knit, senior team with a technically strong, collaborative culture and a clear focus on giving clients commercial, practical advice rather than just legal analysis. Much of the work spans multiple jurisdictions, so comfort coordinating international instructions and advice from overseas counsel would be an advantage.

‍

About the role

Your work will cover the full breadth of privacy, cyber and digital regulatory practice, including:

• Advising multinational clients on privacy compliance, cyber readiness and online safety obligations
• Cross-border data transfer projects, including Binding Corporate Rules
• Drafting and negotiating data protection and privacy-related contractual terms
• Advising on the privacy and cyber angles of AI deployment and governance
• Responding to major cyber incidents, including breach notification and regulator liaison across jurisdictions
• Supporting clients through regulatory investigations and enforcement matters
• Keeping across fast-moving digital regulation as it develops
• Mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to the team's profile and business development

‍

What they're looking for

Ideal candidates will have broad experience in some or all of the following, gained at a well-regarded UK or international firm:

• General privacy and data protection advisory work across multiple legal regimes internationally
• Cyber incident response, including larger or higher-profile matters
• Regulatory investigations or enforcement
• AI-related risk and governance advice
• Online safety, trust and safety, or adjacent digital regulatory work
• Data transfer mechanisms and international compliance frameworks
• Contentious or advisory work involving consumer data, marketing, or adtech
• Strong academic background

Candidates are likely to be around the mid-associate level, though the firm is open to applications from those with more or less experience where the skillset is a strong fit.
