SKILLS
ABOUT BENJAMIN ROSS
I run the UK team at Bortstein Legal Group and lead the firm\'s Global Privacy & Cybersecurity practice. We\'re a specialist technology and data law firm, ranked in Chambers UK and the Legal 500, advising some of the world\'s largest companies on the contracts, compliance and regulatory challenges that come with operating in a technology-driven world.What I help clients with day-to-day- Drafting, negotiating and building playbooks for data processing agreements (DPAs)- I\'ve personally handled thousands- Complex technology contracts - SaaS, cloud, outsourcing, managed services- Privacy and data protection compliance - UK & EU GDPR, US state privacy laws (CCPA and beyond), and global regimes- AI contracting, governance and compliance - Market data and digital content licensing- Technology & outsourcing regulations in financial servicesBefore joining Bortstein, I was in-house at Prudential UK & Europe, advising on commercial, technology, data protection and regulatory issues. That experience shapes everything I do; I understand how in-house teams actually work, what procurement and IT stakeholders need, and how to deliver advice that\'s practical, not theoretical.We\'ve also built something I\'m really proud of: an AI-powered Privacy Contracting Solution that produces high-quality DPA mark-ups in hours instead of days, saving clients up to 75% on cost. It\'s a good example of how we think about legal work differently and we are developing similar use cases for the other work we do. If you\'re a lawyer thinking about your next move: We\'re a growing, Chambers-ranked firm with a genuinely collaborative culture, interesting cross-border work, and a real commitment to innovation. I\'d love to hear from you.Outside of work you\'ll find me looking after my children, singing, playing the cello, or at krav maga.
