Cyber Incident Response Principal Associate

London
You'll be part of a fast-growing, specialist team operating at the intersection of law, technology, and crisis management.


This is not another practice group in a traditional firm - it's a high-performing business within a business, combining legal expertise with digital forensics, threat intelligence, and cyber risk engineering.


If you want meaningful responsibility, the chance to grow something, and a clear path toward partnership or leadership, this is that moment.


What You'll Do

  • Lead and manage a caseload of complex data-breach and cyber-incident matters, including live ransomware events and regulatory investigations.
  • Act as a trusted adviser during active crises — providing clear, strategic legal guidance under pressure.
  • Supervise and mentor junior lawyers while helping shape the direction of the team.
  • Work alongside leading experts in digital forensics and threat intelligence to deliver fully integrated incident response.
  • Contribute to new products, knowledge, and thought leadership in a rapidly evolving field.
  • Support business development and client-relationship initiatives that will accelerate your route to partnership.
What You'll Need

  • Qualified solicitor (5+ PQE) with hands-on experience in cyber, data-breach or regulatory incident work.
  • Commercially astute with the confidence to manage C-suite and insurer clients in high-stakes situations.
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, crisis-driven environments.
  • Exposure to the cyber insurance market or coverage work (desirable, not essential).
  • An entrepreneurial mindset — someone who sees the opportunity to build, not just maintain.
Why This Role?

  • Step into a senior position acting as the right hand to the Head of Incident Response.
  • Genuine path to partnership once you've proven yourself.
  • Join an established but fast-scaling team doing work that's both intellectually challenging and commercially significant.
  • Access to cutting-edge technology, resources, and training across cyber, data, and risk.
  • Competitive remuneration (up to £120k) with flexibility based on experience.
This is an opportunity for a senior lawyer who wants to move beyond the traditional model — to be a key player in building something bigger.
If that sounds like you, get in touch for a confidential discussion.
