About the Role:

Our client, a global real estate investment firm with c.$100bn AUM, are seeking a legal counsel to join their growing London team. I have personally worked with this client extensively, and this promises to be a very unique position within a brilliant team. They are seeking a Legal Counsel specialising in data protection, privacy, and emerging AI regulation. This role sits within a high‑impact privacy and legal function and supports operations across multiple regions. While candidates currently in financial services would be advantageous, those candidates possessing experience in a different sector would still be considered.

Responsibilities:

Provide advice on global privacy laws such as GDPR, CCPA, and equivalent frameworks.
Draft and negotiate data protection clauses, privacy notices, and compliance‑related documentation.
Lead or support PIAs/DPIAs and recommend remediation actions.
Guide teams on international data transfer requirements (e.g., SCC‑based mechanisms).
Track regulatory developments in privacy and AI; prepare internal guidance notes.
Partner with technology and business functions to embed privacy‑by‑design and responsible AI principles.
Maintain templates, playbooks, training materials, and operational guidance.
Support responses to privacy rights requests and regulatory correspondence.

Your Profile:

Qualification to practise law in the UK or an EU jurisdiction.
2–6 years’ PQE with relevant experience in privacy, data protection and relevant regulations.
Candidates with inhouse experience would be preferred, but candidates coming from private practice with secondment exposure would be considered.
Strong understanding of global privacy frameworks and emerging AI governance standards.
