• Background from a City, international or strong regional firm (or relevant in-house role)
• Strong commercial judgement and ability to deliver practical advice
• Confidence managing matters and working within cross-border teams  

You’ll be joining a top-tier Tech & Media group with deep expertise across digital regulation, IP, data and commercial law. The team works seamlessly across offices, advising some of the world’s most recognisable tech and consumer brands.
  
This hire is a deliberate investment into consumer and advertising regulation, giving you the chance to carve out a visible niche within a high-growth area of the practice.
  
Why this move makes sense
  

• Genuine exposure to cutting-edge digital regulation and platform governance
• A broad, international client base across tech, media and consumer sectors
• Clear progression within a growing and well-supported team
