Took the privacy professionals in this bowl’s advice and finally managed to get myself involved in assisting with my firm’s privacy work!! (through our pro bono team) - for context, I’m a junior commercial disputes and litigation lawyer looking to move into privacy.

Once I’ve gained a bit of experience, how can I be advertising myself on LinkedIn or my CV? Any tips to market myself would be appreciated!

Do you already have an IAPP certification? I think that's a good first start because that's kind of the gold standard in the privacy world and I would publicize that cert on LinkedIn when you complete it. IAPP and FPF also have fellowships that might look appealing to future employers.
