Data Protection & Privacy

Today businesses operate in a territorial agnostic world where technology and data assets have transformed the conventional dynamics of a successful business. It is inconceivable to fathom a situation where business functions are independent of information technology and data. Consequently, data protection, information management, informational privacy and compliance with evolving regulatory requirements across the world are key board room agenda items.

Over the years, the Firm has gathered expansive expertise in advising multi-national conglomerates and domestic companies in IT/ITES, healthcare, insurance, finance, e-commerce, enterprise resource planning, and emerging technologies on diverse aspects of data protection compliances, cross-border transfer, data processing, privacy contracting and negotiations, data inventory and audit, information management and lifecycle processes, policy and process formulation, implementation tools, privacy rights and obligations, and sensitization training. We have and continue to hand hold organizations with cross-border operations to navigate, understand, familiarize, implement and comply with foreign data protection regulations in EU, USA, South East Asia, East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. We firmly believe in the power of awareness advocacy and conduct series of round tables and open house sessions on the importance of a robust privacy governance framework as well as trained legal teams of large global tech companies on EU GDPR and India’s draft Personal Data Protection Bill.
