for the third time
I’ve told you about the change in my legal career after redundancy struck for the 2nd time.
Well, it needed to pivot again when redundancy happened for the 3rd time.
After 10 ½ years in consumer law, I found myself looking for a new role.
Not wanting to do back to private practice despite the offers I received, I began a search for in-house legal roles.
And that’s how I found the DMA.
The Direct Marketing Association, as it was at that time, now the Data & Marketing Association is the largest marketing and advertising trade association in Europe.
It meant another change of direction in the law, but I’ve never been afraid of a challenge, and the role looked interesting, 6 months cover for a solicitor on maternity leave.
6 months turned into 12 and that turned into 12 ½ years.
The data knowledge was new but the consumer law came in useful as many aspects of advertising law finds its basis in consumer legislation.
Learning these new areas of law is something I’ve enjoyed over the years, as I’ve always had a thirst for knowledge since I was young.
Learning is a necessity for a solicitor, and now I’m out on my own, it’s even more important.
So if you have any question on marketing and advertising law and you want honest, jargon free legal advice, paired with experience of the real world, get in touch and we’ll talk.
