DATA PROTECTION

Khaitan Legal Associates is a full-service Indian law firm with offices in London, Mumbai, and New Delhi, as well as correspondent offices across different cities in India.

In an age where technology, the growth of e-commerce, social media, and the Internet of Things are creating a large expanse of data, the disruption of existing norms around individual privacy is a foregone conclusion. Understandably, countries across the world are responding to the technological revolution by creating path-breaking jurisprudence and statutory provisions in this regard. We, at Khaitan Legal Associates, have regularly assisted our clients in assessing, reviewing, and strengthening their data safety framework and ensuring compliance with the constantly evolving legal landscape in this regard. Data protection is a growing concern in the Indian markets, and we provide specialized services to ensure our client’s seamless transition through every evolution in the law.
