Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in law graduate or equivalent and bar membership in good standing is required and post graduate degree is preferred.
- At least 710 years of experience as a practicing attorney, inhouse and/or at a law firm including at least 3 years of direct, handson experience providing legal counseling on data privacy and security matters in the life sciences industry.
