If you really want to do the legal side, you need to become a lawyer. There are some compliance roles that are adjacent, but it’s not really the same.
I work in a similar space. Engineering undergrad, MBA, started in cyber consulting, moved to privacy when GDPR started. Have CIPT and CIPP/US. (And PMP, CISA and CIA). I work mostly in compliance - assessing, building, and upscaling privacy programs. I get a lot of my work from external counsel reference. All the big4, FTI, tier2 accounting firms, some law firms have privacy consulting practices that don’t require law degrees. However, if you want to be on the legal side, you need a law degree.
Not OP but there are privacy law certificates offered by law schools now FWIW
