The demand for personal data lawyers has increased by 1.5 times since the beginning of 2024. These specialists are most in demand in the capitals, but rapid growth in vacancies has been observed in the regions of Russia. Experts attribute this trend to greater responsibility of companies when working with data.
In Russia in 2024, the demand for lawyers in the field of personal data will increase. This is stated in a study by hh.ru and the Moscow Digital School (Ultimate Education) platform.
The number of vacancies published in January 2024 increased by 147% compared to January 2023. Legal specialists working with personal data are in greatest demand in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
In 2023, there was a noticeable increase in the number of open vacancies in the regions of Russia. In Tatarstan, the number of vacant positions for personal data lawyers increased by 83%, in Bashkortostan and the Chelyabinsk region – by 80%, and in the Krasnoyarsk Territory – by 67%.
Experts attribute the increase in the number of vacant positions to legislative changes that refer to greater responsibility of companies in case of violations of personal data processing rules.
