Excellent Salary Package & Benefits
Haggerty Jaques is delighted to be supporting a highly regarded law firm as it looks to appoint a senior lawyer into its specialist Data Protection team.
This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established national practice with ambitious growth plans and an excellent reputation in the market. The firm is looking to appoint at Partner level, with the role shaped around the successful individual’s experience, aspirations and career goals.
Whether you see yourself as a recognised technical specialist, an experienced team leader or someone looking to play a key role in the future growth of a thriving national practice, we’d love to have a confidential conversation with you.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to become part of a dedicated Information Law and Data Protection team advising on complex, high-profile matters for an impressive and varied client base.
Unlike many data protection roles, this position sits within a specialist practice where Information Law and Data Protection are the core focus, allowing lawyers to develop genuine expertise whilst working alongside recognised leaders in the field.
The firm has made a significant commitment to growing this area of the business, creating an exciting platform for an ambitious senior lawyer looking to make a real impact.
The Role
You’ll advise clients across a broad range of Information Law and Data Protection matters, including:
UK GDPR and Data Protection Act compliance
- Freedom of Information
- Subject Access Requests
- Information governance
- Data sharing arrangements
- Data breaches and cyber incidents
- Privacy compliance programmes
- AI governance and emerging technologies
- Regulatory advice relating to data protection and information law
The client base spans both the public and private sectors, with particular strengths across healthcare, life sciences, commercial organisations and other regulated industries, ensuring a broad and intellectually stimulating workload.
Alongside delivering first-class technical advice, you’ll have the opportunity to mentor junior colleagues, strengthen client relationships and help shape the continued success of the practice.
For those with an interest in leadership and business development, there is genuine scope to play a significant role in the future direction and growth of the team.
About You
We’re keen to speak with experienced lawyers who have developed strong expertise in Data Protection and Information Law and are considering the next stage of their career.
An existing client following would naturally be welcomed for more senior appointments, but the firm is equally interested in exceptional technical lawyers with strong commercial awareness, an excellent reputation and the ambition to help develop a growing national practice.
Why This Firm?
As well as first-class work, you’ll find a genuinely collaborative culture where flexibility and long-term career development are taken seriously.
You’ll work alongside highly respected lawyers who are committed to supporting colleagues, encouraging progression and creating an environment where individuals can build careers that suit both their professional ambitions and their lives outside work.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a senior Data Protection lawyer looking for high-quality work, genuine flexibility and the chance to influence the future of an ambitious national practice.
