You will form part of the market-leading and rapidly growing Digital, Creative and Commerce (DCC) team.
However, the primary focus of the role will be commercial work in the technology sector work, although you would have opportunities to work across the breadth of our DCC practice and there will also some advisory work. While you will cover a broad range of commercial work (including consumer, platform and other ‘routes to market’ work), the ideal candidate would be someone who really enjoys technology-related work and is not afraid to get stuck into the larger and more complex agreements when they come up, such as significant outsourcing transactions (BPO such payroll and logistics and ITO), as well as the lighter day-to-day agreements and advisory work. There is a huge range of technology-related work on offer, including agile software development contracts, SaaS agreements, software licences, mobile app contracts, crypto, AI and many other cutting-edge tech sub-sectors.
We would expect you to take the IAPP CIPP/E data exam (like most of our associates) as we believe that this is core to being a superb technology and commercial lawyer (but we won’t expect you to do audits or more specialist data work, unless you wish to). Experience in intellectual property transactions and regulation involving consumer law and online safety would also be a plus.
