Technology & Data Lawyer, PQE, –build practice

• A leading UK firm is hiring a technology and data lawyer in Edinburgh. The salary is among the best in the Scottish market at this level. Hybrid working is standard, though fully remote /highly flexible working are also readily available - many of this firm's lawyers work flexibly.

• You'd be one of the first members of the technology team in Scotland. That means a real hand in building the Scottish practice, its client base and the team around you, not slotting into a pre-ordained structure.

• The work spans the full range of national and international tech, data, cyber and AI mandates. It covers digital transformation, outsourcing, SaaS and software licensing, data protection and AI. Clients range from major US, UK, European headquartered vendors and AI-native scale-ups to organisations buying technology in financial services, energy, transport and infrastructure.

• Sector depth counts from day one. Financial services work runs alongside the firm's fintech practice.
  
  If you've come from in-house, or know financial services, energy or infrastructure, you'll be in good company.

• The healthy culture is demonstrable. The firm is regularly recognised as having one of the best working cultures in UK law.

If you want to shape a technology practice rather than inherit one, this is a genuinely rare opening.
