• Draft and negotiate security-focused contractual terms for vendor and client engagements
• Monitor developments that may create new security obligations or expectations, and advise senior leadership on the legal implications of the change

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Law degree and license to practice law in at least one state
• Approximately 5 years of relevant cybersecurity legal experience (e.g., counseling, incident response, regulatory engagement on cyber topics)
• Excellent interpersonal and client skills; ability to build and maintain strong relationship with relevant business and control groups within the firm
• Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and simply, both orally and in writing, and to present clear choices
• Excellent project management and time management skills, ability to handle multiple internal clients and projects

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
