Associate / Senior Associate – Data & Cyber | London
A London law firm is looking to hire at both Associate and Senior Associate level into its Data & Cyber practice.
The role is intended to be broad, with work split across data protection/privacy and cyber matters rather than sitting exclusively within one specialism. The team handles a mix of advisory, regulatory, incident response and disputes-related work for clients across a range of sectors, including consumer-facing businesses, insurers and not-for-profit organisations.
The team is particularly open-minded on background. They would be interested in speaking with lawyers who have experience in areas such as:

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.
- Data protection and privacy advisory work
- Cyber incidents and breach response
- Regulatory and compliance matters
- Data-related disputes
- A combination of privacy and cyber work
Candidates could come from private practice, an in-house legal team, or have experience across both. An in-house background is viewed positively, particularly where someone has had meaningful responsibility for data protection, privacy or cyber matters.
The team is also open to candidates who have followed a less traditional qualification route, including those who have qualified through the SQE, where the underlying experience is relevant.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
There is no requirement to be a pure cyber specialist or a pure data protection lawyer. The preference is for someone who is interested in developing across both areas and is comfortable working on a varied practice.
Beyond technical experience, the team places a significant emphasis on how someone works, particularly collaboration, judgement, client skills and the ability to operate comfortably within a close-knit team.
This could therefore suit someone with a strong Data/Cyber foundation whose background does not necessarily fit the conventional City law firm mould.
