Legal Counsel - IT / Data Protection If you're advising on AI and data law but only ever seeing one piece of the picture, this role puts you at the centre of it.

Every IT, digital commerce and data protection question across the group comes to you. You'll see projects from the start, shape how new technology is introduced, and build the policies and templates the business will rely on for years. If you're in private practice, this is a chance to move from advising on decisions to helping make them. If you're already in-house, it's a broader remit with genuine influence.
