Our Cyber practice is growing. We already have a small but successful national digital team supporting clients across all areas of this expanding sector, including cyber breach support, resilience, and broader coverage issues. We have ambitious plans to grow further.
We are seeking a Partner to join our expanding digital team to focus on providing cyber-related advice to our client base, including insurers and companies. With our transatlantic presence, strong insurance market pedigree, and a mandate to grow our digital practice, this opportunity is truly exciting.
Our current work covers the entire cyber lifecycle, from regulatory and compliance advice aimed at preventing breaches, to acting as breach counsel on critical incidents and post-incident support, including defending regulatory enforcement actions and handling insurance claims. We are trusted advisors during highly pressurized, time-sensitive cyber events.
What you will need to succeed:
We seek an individual with extensive experience in managing cyber security incidents who can help develop our UK cyber practice, leverage our US footprint, Lex Mundi relationships, and connections in the insurance market. This role offers a great opportunity for a self-starter to lead, develop, and expand a team in this vital area.
As an experienced leader, you will bring a reputation for technical excellence, exceptional client management skills, and a business growth mindset. Our existing digital, privacy, and insurance teams will support your practice development, with resources to assist in marketing and team growth.
To be successful, you should have:
* An enterprising mindset and self-motivation.
* Proven experience advising clients on responding to cyber security incidents, with contacts in the cyber insurance market preferred.
* Exceptional client management skills, especially in difficult, time-sensitive situations.
* An external profile as a leader in cyber security, with sector knowledge and awareness of current trends.
* A commitment to mentoring junior lawyers.
* An understanding of delivering legal services at a top 20 law firm, including revenue focus, commercial awareness, and efficient matter management.
* Admittance as a lawyer in the UK or similar jurisdiction.
