Data Protection Lawyer

This Top 100 firm has experienced significant growth in the last 24 months with the hire of several Partners into their flourishing London office. They have several offices nationally and a growing international presence. They have a different culture compared to that of most City practices; they have a much more relaxed, collaborative, and forward-thinking culture. Staff value more in the way of work-life balance and flexibility. They invest heavily in their workforce and are very progressive, their learning and development programme is widely respected in the legal sector and has been recognised by several industry awards. They are a cohesive, inclusive, and entrepreneurial organisation.

The firm has a San Francisco office; this office reinforces both its position as a leading US/UK inward investment specialist, and its cross-border M&A and international private wealth practices.
