Data Privacy Lawyer with Adtech Experience

Data Privacy Lawyer with Adtech Experience

Home based flexible working - 6 months fixed term role

We are looking for an experienced data privacy lawyer with Adtech experience to support one of our major clients, a household name international FMCG business.  Engaged by Ortolan Legal, but working with our client’s in-house legal team, this is an opportunity for you to deploy your skills in a fascinating and complex international business with a high quality and interesting workload.  The project we need you for is likely to last for 6 months but could run for longer.

In this role you will be working alongside our client’s established in-house legal team.  You will also find yourself working closely with stakeholders across the business and your ability to engage effectively with people at all levels will be as important as your technical legal skills.

To be successful you will need the following skills and attributes:

• You must be a qualified lawyer in the UK or another comparable jurisdiction. Lawyers with less than 5 years PQE are unlikely to have acquired the experience needed, but if you are exceptional, please convince us! 
• A strong technical legal background is a given and this is likely to have been gained with a leading practice, ideally with some in-house experience as well.
• You will need to have a good understanding of data privacy law with demonstrable understanding of Adtech issues including programmatic advertising.
• Experience of the FMCG sector and knowledge of the legal issues associated with consumer and B2B marketing operations will be a distinct advantage.
• Importantly, you will need to be a good fit; so as well as being charismatic and personable, you will also be highly motivated, client focused and will have a demonstrably commercial approach with plenty of initiative.

Ortolan Legal is a very different law firm.  We provide our clients with ‘virtual’ legal support and this is delivered exclusively by experienced solicitors.  We aim to give highly commercial and technically strong advice and we do this at a cost which compares extremely favourably with other, more conventional legal practices.  Based in England and SRA authorised and registered, from a standing start in late 2009 we have grown strongly and our client base includes businesses ranging from FTSE 100 household names and multinational manufacturers to owner-managed companies in sectors as diverse as FMCG, rail, logistics, manufacturing and high tech. 

Our lawyers are supported by all the technology and resources they need to provide an excellent service.  We are collegiate in the way we manage our business and we aim to put everyone in a position not only to achieve a great deal of job satisfaction, but also to really enjoy working with us.

The position is open now and we are keen to identify the right person and get them in place as soon as possible.  So if this resonates with you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 

If you would like to know more, please send your CV in confidence to Nick Benson.  We will respond to every applicant.
