My client is an instantly recognisable technology business based in Greater London. An opportunity has arisen for a Legal Counsel to undertake a Data Protection focused role.
Your role will involve working within the Legal and Compliance team providing advice on a range of regulatory and compliance matters, with a primary focus on data protection. Your day to day responsibilities will include advising on applicable data protection issues arising in relation to projects and initiatives; advising and working on relevant data protection structures to ensure data protection compliance, including engaging in dialogue with offices in other jurisdictions; providing training to the business on compliance matters and assisting with research on legal issues, case law and legislative developments.
The successful candidate will have good academics and have trained at a top tier London or major provincial firm. You will have a good overall grasp of compliance issues, particularly data protection and ideally have experience of advising global consumer products brands. In-house experience is desirable, although not required. You will have at least three years’ post-qualification experience.
This is an exciting opportunity for a data protection lawyer to join a high calibre team in a household name business.
