Pinsent Masons information law head Marc Dautlich has left the firm to join Bristows.
Dautlich is joining Bristows as a partner in the firm's data protection team after seven years at Pinsents, before which he was a partner at Olswang where he headed that firm's data protection team.
His experience includes advising clients in the technology and financial services sectors in relation to data protection, technology, digital and freedom of information matters.
Bristows joint managing partner Marek Petecki said: "Marc joins us at an exciting time for our data protection practice, which continues to go from strength to strength post-GDPR. Marc's outlook and approach are a great fit for us here at Bristows and we are delighted to have him on board."
The hire for Bristows comes after the firm last year recruited a nine-lawyer team from legacy Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) when the firm pulled out of trademark licensing and disputes work. Intellectual property head Simon Clark made the move alongside trade mark attorney Ian Gruselle and seven other lawyers and support staff.
Pinsents has appointed Manchester-based partner Claire Edwards to succeed Dautlich as head of information law.
In a statement, Pinsents said: "We can confirm that Marc Dautlich has left the firm, and we wish him all the best."
Other recent departures for Pinsents include global corporate crime head Barry Vitou, who left to launch a London white-collar defence and special investigations practice for US firm Greenberg Traurig, and construction and infrastructure partner Sarah Thomas, who joined DLA Piper.
However, the firm has added to its ranks in recent months with the hire of a pair of Middle East infrastructure and energy partners from Eversheds Sutherland, including regional energy and infrastructure head Tim Armsby, while last year it signed up two London equity capital market and M&A partners from legacy BLP.
The firm posted a 6% global turnover rise to £449.8m for 2017-18, alongside a 4.4% increase in profit per equity partner to £653,000, as well as a 10% increase in fees billed.
