Job description

Mullen Coughlin is a highly successful, fast growing niche law firm with international presence focused exclusively on counseling organizations in the context of data privacy, including incident response, regulatory investigation, and compliance. Committed to rapid incident response to incoming client calls, we thrive in a high energy, close-knit, and upbeat culture. The Firm pays very competitively in the market and offers a full benefit package, including holiday, paid maternity and paternity leave, and a pension program.

The UK office is comprised of a small specialist team of partners and associates based across the UK.

In this role, the Associate will work in a highly collaborative, team environment to provide legal counsel to organizations investigating and responding to international data privacy and cybersecurity incidents. Associates will collect information needed to understand the issue and scope of each situation, engage and direct experts needed to appropriately investigate and respond to the event, and communicate to regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, and other third-parties as needed while advising clients throughout the investigation. Due to the unpredictable nature of cybersecurity events, all Partners and Associates participate in a rotating on-call schedule to provide crisis management support to our clients.

The ideal candidate will be qualified as a Solicitor in England & Wales, have experience in crisis management, cybersecurity or privacy, and an enthusiastic and team-oriented attitude. Exceptional analytic, writing, communication, and preparation skills, plus focused attention to detail are key to performing well in our highly responsive environment. Candidates should demonstrate initiative and the ability to independently maintain their own caseload.

We are currently looking for lawyers who generally bring 2 to 5 years of experience, with preference given to those who have worked in private practices within data privacy, healthcare, and regulatory compliance.
