The firm
Birketts is a full service, UK Top 50 law firm. With a heritage spanning 160 years, we have more than 700 lawyers and legal professionals based in Bristol, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Ipswich, London, Norwich and Sevenoaks. We advise businesses, government and public sector organisations and individuals in the UK and internationally across four principal practice groups: Real Estate, Corporate Services, Dispute Resolution and Private Client.
The department
The Data Team sits within the six-Partner Commercial & Technology group. While the team currently focuses on data protection matters (both standalone and as part of wider transactions) we see this as a pivotal role for the right candidate to collaborate with our existing Commercial & Technology Partners in building a market-leading data practice.
In addition to strengthening the firm’s data protection and UK GDPR capabilities, this role offers the opportunity to develop a broader practice that supports the firm in areas such as data monetisation, cybersecurity, and Artificial Intelligence advisory services.
Purpose of job
We are seeking a senior individual with the drive and commitment to help Birketts’s continue the growth and development of our firmwide data practice and become an integral member of the team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated, proactive professional to join a successful and friendly team in any of our non-London offices, within a growing firm that enjoys an outstanding reputation.
