Help Ambitious Businesses Build, Scale, and Navigate Change
Altern8 Legal was built around a belief that ambitious businesses should be able to access exceptional senior legal expertise flexibly, while experienced lawyers should have greater ownership over how, where, and with whom they work.
We provide bespoke legal solutions to our clients through our exceptional pool of senior lawyers, delivering strategic legal support in an efficient and flexible way.
Growth can create cyber exposure faster than businesses build the capacity to manage it. Adopting AI, launching connected products, winning enterprise customers and expanding internationally can all bring cybersecurity questions into everyday commercial decisions.
We are keen to connect with experienced cybersecurity lawyers who are interested in interim, fractional or project-based consulting work, helping businesses turn complex risks and legal requirements into practical action.
We are particularly interested in lawyers who can work confidently alongside security, technology, product, and commercial teams, bringing specialist judgement and taking ownership of delivery.
Typical engagements might include:
- Developing incident-response plans and advising through cyber incidents, including notification decisions and coordination with external advisers
- Strengthening customer and supplier contracts around security obligations, testing permissions, data handling, and liability
- Assessing cybersecurity and operational resilience requirements and translating them into clear implementation programmes
- Supporting AI adoption, connected-product launches, and international expansion with appropriate legal safeguards
- Building governance frameworks, briefing boards and training decision-makers on cyber risk and accountability
- Providing embedded specialist support to legal teams during periods of growth, change or increased demand
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This could suit senior lawyers from private practice or in-house teams with experience advising on cybersecurity, technology risk or operational resilience. Related expertise in data protection, technology contracts, or regulated sectors would also be valuable.
Becoming an Altern8 consultant offers you:
- Exposure to sophisticated, commercially impactful work
- The opportunity to operate at a strategic, business-partner level
- Flexibility and autonomy over how and when you work
- A collaborative model, with continuous support and dialogue from the Altern8 team throughout your engagements

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.

With Altern8, you retain ownership over how you work and the engagements you undertake - adding meaningful value to exciting businesses in a way that suits you.
This advert represents our continuing search for exceptional consultants rather than one specific assignment. The location, duration, working pattern, and scope of each engagement will vary according to the client’s requirements.
Our consultant network is non-exclusive, so you remain free to undertake work elsewhere, subject to your availability, existing commitments, and any applicable conflicts of interest.
If this sounds like the kind of work you would enjoy, we would be pleased to hear from you. Please apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile.
