Award winning, innovative firm which operates more like an in-house organisation rather than a traditional law firm requires a Cyber Security and Data Protection Solicitor to join their expanding team in Hull. This firm has gone from strength to strength in recent years recognised not only by the exponential but sensible growth, but also by the quality and volume of work they have to offer their lawyers.
The UK’s data protection and cyber security landscape continues to change and grow and as a result our client requires an additional Solicitor to join their team. Our client would ideally like someone with current experience in cyber security and data protection law, but they appreciate these individuals are not easy to find. They would also be willing to consider candidates from a regulatory background who have transferable skills and experience. For instance, those who have experience in dealing with regulators and representing individuals or organisations in regulatory matters.
In addition to the regulatory element of this role, our client requires someone with excellent litigation experience who will be able to competently handle cyber crime claims and investigate the loss and determine whether to pay loss as well as running liability claims.
The role will also include elements of business development as the firm expand their client base further.
Our client is looking for a Solicitor with at least 3+ PQE, however, this is only provided as a guide and our client is happy to consider candidates who fall out of this banding who have the relevant skills and experience. Additionally, it is essential that the successful candidate is personable and an excellent communicator as they will be required to liaise with a number of professionals including regulators, cyber experts, insurers and brokers etc.
This is ideally a full-time position, located in Hull, however, this firm is extremely agile and many employees spend more time working from home than in the office.
To find out more about this Cyber Security & Data Protection Solicitor role in Hull, please contact Rachel Birkinshaw at Sacco Mann on 0113 467 9795.....Read more...

Employer Description:Wilkin Chapman started life in 1900 when two sole practitioners, James Whiteley Wilkin and Ernest Benjamin Chapman established a partnership on Victoria Street in Grimsby.
The work of a provincial solicitors’ office at the start of the 20th century was very different from that now undertaken. Family law was virtually non-existent, divorce a rarity and the custody of children seldom an issue of official dispute. Commercial matters commonly involved little more than straightforward contracts and businesses - a far cry from the complex ownership structures of today - were generally family affairs, passing from father to son as a matter of course. Messrs Wilkin and Chapman concentrated on conveyancing, probate and trusts, with services to local businesses and a small amount of litigation thrown in for good measure.
As the client base grew, so too did our expertise. During the 1960s, the firm’s commercial department began a period of significant growth in response to the needs of one large client, the Ross Group. This process continued unabated as economic activity mushroomed in the region - particularly on the Humber Bank - and the improvement in transport and other communication facilities have enabled us to extend our client base to include businesses throughout the UK.
This level of expertise was considered unusual in a provincial practice but formed the basis for our future growth and success.
The last twenty years has seen further mergers with numerous firms across Lincolnshire, East and South Yorkshire as we have continued to strengthen our presence in our heartland and build Wilkin Chapman into the firm that is recognised today.Working Hours :9am-5pm (1hr unpaid lunch)

Are you a Commercial Solicitor looking for something different? This role, which offers the best of both worlds between in house and private practice, is a unique opportunity to join a team which is going from strength to strength. Top quality work, great clients and cutting edge technology, without the pressures of time recording and client billing targets. Central Leeds office location with home working.
This role is to work directly for companies, very much as an in-house lawyer, but with the support of an award-winning law firm with all of the back-up, training and support that this offers. The role is to be based within Leeds City Centre, but you would sometimes find yourself working on site for the companies – truly integrated as a trusted legal advisor.
Our client, which is one of the UK's leading law firms, offers an incredibly friendly working environment accompanied by a world leading reputation, backed up by the countless awards that they have won. This role offers more flexibility and freedom than a typical commercial role would offer, so if you are looking to get away from traditional time recording, work directly with one or two leading corporates but have the luxury of other lawyers around you, this role can offer that highly unusual blend.
You will be working within the firms' 'in-house' team, this team literally takes over either the entire legal work of specific companies, or specific parts of it, taking on work that was previously handled in-house. The role is essentially to work as in-house lawyer but on behalf of one or two large clients at any point in time, offering the opportunity to work across sectors but focusing largely on commercial contracts and wider business as usual legal work.
Work will include providing high quality legal advice, mitigating commercial and legal risk and really integrating yourself into the client, their sector and their commercial imperatives. The firm provides a really innovative solution to some of the UK's highest profile companies, giving you the chance to be at the cutting edge of a genuine alternative to companies looking to outsource their legal services in a different way.
You will have the support of a global firm, really allowing you to drive your career forward at the highest level and surrounded by some of the brightest minds. There's no time recording, no chargeable targets and the option to get involved in business development but no requirement to do so, it's all about doing a great job for the company and getting to know them well. You will be fully supported by non-legal specialists across a number of sectors including IT and project management to deliver highly innovative solutions.
The firm is really open minded about the level of PQE that it is looking for. There are 2 roles and one will suit a Lawyer with c. 1-5 years PQE, with the other pitched at a more experienced level or c. 5 years + PQE. Ideally you will have solid commercial contracts experience gained either in house or in private practice. Whilst the lion’s share of the work is commercial they are happy to consider recruiting either corporate lawyers or even litigators, although you must have worked in a commercial discipline within litigation. They have recruited from within these disciplines successfully historically and are happy to do so again.
This practice is fully supporting a blend of home and office working going forward and as a consequence if you live further afield but could consider the commute for a couple of days a week don't discount this opportunity.
