One of our in‑house clients, a growing company based in Windsor, is looking for a senior corporate affairs associate / legal counsel to assist and support the Director of Corporate Affairs in the management of all legal affairs for the company with a particular focus on Intellectual Property, Data Protection and Commercial work.
Key Responsibilities:

* Coordinating external IP lawyers
* Bringing oppositions to registrations
* Negotiating settlements to disputes
* Registration of new trade marks
* Determining litigation strategy
* Overseeing, advising and leading compliance to UK GDPR and Data Protection across the company, including:
* Being the nominated person for Data Protection internally and externally
* Identifying and minimising data protection risks
* Assessing data protection compliance
* Drafting, implementing and ensuring compliance with data protection policy and procedure
* Reviewing, amending and drafting legal documentation and contracts to support the commercial and operation arms of the business
* Advising the board of directors and company on a wide variety of legal areas and obtaining external expertise where required to do so

It is essential that the candidate has a minimum of 5 years’ PQE (this can be gained in‑house or private practice) and substantial litigation experience. Experience in data protection law and IP will also be beneficial.
The office is located in Windsor and you will need to travel to the office twice a week, with three days working remotely.
