Some lawyers enjoy cyber and tech work. They're the lawyers who find themselves following major cyber incidents, emerging technologies, major technology disputes, AI developments and privacy reforms because they're genuinely interested in where the world is heading. If you're one of them, we'd like to talk.
The Opportunity
As our Cyber & Technology practice continues to grow, we're looking for an Associate or Senior Associate who wants to build their career as part of a leading team in one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving areas of law. You'll work with clients navigating complex cyber incidents, technology risks, privacy obligations and regulatory challenges. The work is varied, fast-paced and often business-critical. This isn't a role where you'll spend years waiting for interesting matters to come your way. You’ll be in the thick of it from day one working closely with your fellow colleagues.
About You
This role is ultimately about mindset. Of course, you'll have solid legal experience. You may have developed that experience in cyber, technology, privacy, insurance, financial lines, disputes or regulatory work. But more important than where you've worked is what genuinely interests you. You enjoy understanding how technology works. You find cyber incidents fascinating. You like keeping up with emerging threats, AI, privacy reform and the legal challenges that come with a rapidly changing digital landscape. Most importantly, you're excited by the prospect of building your career in this space and becoming known for it.
Why Gilchrist Connell?
We're growing something genuinely exciting out of an outstanding foundation in Cyber & Technology. You'll join a collaborative, down-to-earth team that does high-quality work without the politics and hierarchy often found elsewhere. We trust our people, invest heavily in their development and create real opportunities for talented lawyers to grow their careers. If you're looking for a role where your interest in cyber and technology will be encouraged, challenged and developed, we'd love to hear from you.
