Job Title
Outbreach is a specialist cyber incident response and crisis management firm working with mid-market organizations in the UK and the Gulf. We bring together incident management, digital forensics, legal, crisis communications, and recovery under one roof so that a client in the middle of a breach has one partner rather than five.
We are looking for two Legal Associates to deliver breach counsel to clients during and after cyber incidents. You would work directly on live matters from the first day, supporting organizations through notification decisions, regulatory exposure, and the evidential requirements that follow a breach. This is hands-on legal work inside an incident response business rather than a law firm. The pace is different, the client is usually mid-crisis, and the advice has to be usable immediately.
Key Responsibilities
- Notification Advice: Advise clients on breach notification obligations, timelines, and the risk attached to each option.
- Drafting: Prepare notification drafts for regulators, data subjects, and other affected parties.
- Regulatory Assessment: Support the regulatory exposure assessment across UK GDPR and the international regimes in scope for the client.
- Evidence: Advise on evidence preservation and the legal requirements that shape how an investigation is run.
- Report Contribution: Contribute the legal sections of incident reports, and review the remainder for anything that creates exposure.
- Litigation Support: Support litigation and disclosure work alongside instructing solicitors and external counsel.
- Post Incident Review: Conduct post-incident legal reviews and turn them into something the client can act on.
- Contract Review: Review inbound contracts, DPAs, and subcontractor terms under the direction of the Director.
- Knowledge Base: Keep our notification templates, regulatory trackers, and knowledge base current.
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.
Skills and Experience
- Qualification: Qualified lawyer, England and Wales, or a comparable jurisdiction. We will consider strong candidates across a range of post-qualification levels.
- Data Protection: Working knowledge of UK GDPR and data breach notification in practice, not only in principle.
- Drafting Precision: Notifications are read closely by people looking for problems, so precision matters.
- Deadlines: Able to work to short deadlines without losing accuracy.
- Technical Literacy: Comfortable enough with technical material to interrogate a forensic finding rather than accept it.
- Client Confidence: Client-facing confidence in a stressful situation.
- Eligibility: Right to work in the UK.

Highly Desirable (But Not Essential)
- Experience in a law firm cyber, privacy, or technology practice.
- Exposure to live breach matters, from any side of them.
- Familiarity with sector-specific regimes such as NIS, DORA, or financial services rules.
- CIPP, CIPM, or a similar certification.
- A second language.
Both seats involve some out-of-hours availability, because notification clocks do not pause. We are open to permanent or contract arrangements for the right people, and to different levels of seniority across the two positions.
