What skills and attributes would I need?

  • Able to demonstrate your interest in technology law (IT/Data Protection or both)
  • Good academics
  • Excellent attention to detail, drafting and negotiating skills
  • Good organisational skills to help you manage clients’ needs and timelines
  • Have a pro-active approach to work
  • Show a willingness to learn and develop your own skillset

  • Strong team working approach whilst possessing a keen sense of humour

Who will I be working with?

You will work closely alongside Partner, Jagvinder Singh Kang , who is the firm’s International and UK Head of IT Law. Jagvinder is recognised in Legal 500’s official “Hall of Fame” for technology law work, and has been consistently recognised as a leading technology lawyer for well over a decade by both Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners. In addition, you will work with our other fantastic technology law partners and national team.

Pre-employment screening

Please note that, in the event that we make an offer for a role, we will conduct pre-employment screening that includes, but is not limited to, a basic DBS check, right to work check, any disciplinary history recorded with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and a self-declaration to assess your character and suitability for the role. A full policy of the screening the firm undertakes is available on request.

Disclosure and barring service check and security clearance

This post is also subject to a satisfactory response from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) (to check for any previous criminal convictions and cautions) and, given the nature of the work-type, you may also be required to undergo national security vetting to SC level – the latter can be undertaken following commencement of employment.

And finally

Mills & Reeve is committed to building a diverse workforce and fostering an inclusive environment in which all our people can thrive. We hire people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes our firm stronger, and we have a collaborative culture that celebrates different perspectives and values respect for one another, working together, and openness and integrity.
