A great opportunity for an experienced Associate to join our Data Privacy team in London.

Practice and Role Summary

Freshfields’ Global Data team brings together lawyers across the world advising on strategic advisory work, data driven transactions, data regulation and investigations, and cyber issues, together with a growing number of data disputes for a range of clients from any sector including tech, consumer, healthcare and financial services. Data is a key focus for the firm’s strategy and an excellent fit with our growth in the US and Silicon Valley in particular. We are looking for someone enthusiastic about data who is looking for a great platform to grow and develop surrounded by a fun and supportive team.

The team invests heavily in training and engaging with the data community, hosting regular internal and client know-how sessions, both virtually and in person - and on an international basis, so that our associates are able to issue-spot for our clients, wherever they want to grow.

Freshfields’ data privacy lawyers make up a significant part of the IP, technology and data group, and the broader Freshfields data group brings together international data practitioners across the core data privacy group, IP, employment, antitrust, tax and other practices. This data group has been consistently ranked among the Global Elite by Global Data Review, and we believe is the only group in the market that can genuinely claim to be advising clients across the full range of data issues on a global scale. For our lawyers, the way we organise ourselves means that you’ll have a diverse, international network and that you’ll always be thinking of the different angles that matter to real world clients.
