Introduction
In a post covid world, the growth of Technology Companies have been phenomenal, making them indispensable in our day to day life. In fact, technology companies comprise about 1/5th of fastest growing companies in Forbes 2020 fastest growing companies list.
In fact, the Technology sector has been the most consistent performer in the past few years.
Add the effect of the pandemic to that and you would see that the reliance on technology has increased manifold.
It follows that both the work related to technology and resultant compliance and enforcement has also increased manifold - by way of example, the World Health Organization witnessed a 5x increase in cyber attacks.
A virtual/ remote work environment has increased the number of devices logged into the internet through open networks (not company intranets), leaving open vulnerabilities.
Further, a survey by Ernst & Young and IAPP revealed that the sudden need to shift to work from home to survive in the pandemic had led organizations to accelerate or skip privacy checks of various software, thus exacerbating the effect.
Countries across the globe have responded strongly by enacting different kinds of laws regulating the emerging fields of technology such as blockchains, e-commerce, data privacy technology licenses, e-payment systems, etc.
This increase in the pace of legislation and compliances have also increased the amount of work available for lawyers who are well versed in these newly emerging areas.
Most of the traditional lawyers find themselves ill equipped to service the needs of their clients, both culturally and technically.
Thus, there is an emerging space for lawyers and professionals who understand the intricacies of various rules and regulations governing them across the globe.
Not only this, regulations tend to be industry specific.
We, at LawSikho have always maintained that in order to be industry ready, one needs to understand the requirements of the specific business and its commercial objectives and then think of the applicability of law to that, instead of directly considering compliance.
This course therefore, looks at introducing the participants to different businesses within the domain of technology and how these businesses work, and then goes on to discuss the applicable laws to those business models and the work that can be taken up in that domain.
Who should take this course?
- In-house counsels who want to assist their organisations in addressing technology related compliance and work at a global level.

- Lawyers who want to work in top law firms or in the technology law practice of boutique law firms,
- Lawyers who want to build an independent/ freelancing technology law practice or start their own law firm which caters to the offshore needs of foreign clients.
- Young lawyers and law students who intend to pursue an LLM and settle abroad in the long term
- Young lawyers who want to shift from traditional areas of legal practice to technology laws and work with fast-growing startups, law firms or in the privacy teams of companies
- Law students who are interested in building a career in technology laws and want to kickstart their freelancing practice during their law school.
- Law students who want to secure the best corporate and tech law firm jobs after graduation and create financial safety for themselves

Please do not expect us to teach you like college courses. Those are not effective. Our focus is on giving you a realistic experience of doing legal work. Hence you will get different exercises and assignments every week and all relevant material to solve them. Please do not worry that you have not read other associated concepts. We are recreating the experience of working in a law firm or in-house legal department, and we found that this is the kind of training that works best. Live classes will relate to the week’s assignments. You can read the modules from module 1, but we advise you to follow the courses according to where the assignments take you. By the end of the year, you would have covered all the syllabus and retained everything.
If it feels complicated and challenging midway, do not worry. The course is designed like this. You need to stick to it, hold on for dear life and ride along as you ride a roller coaster. Our responsibility is that you are satisfied and get all the results that you were promised by the end. If you are not, you can hold us responsible.

An online Live class is a video conference-based class that you can attend from mobile, tablet and personal computer through an application. You can see the teacher and the teacher can see you. You can even share your screen with the teacher for comments if the teacher requests it, and the teacher can show you his or her screen. You can see other people attending the class also. There is usually a lot of discussion amongst the students and teachers in the class. It is very much like a live classroom except that you do not have to travel to access the class; you can access it on the go as long as you have internet and a device.
We will point you out the relevant reading material and templates and precedences you need to solve an assignment. You can also freely discuss with other students in the course WhatsApp group. You can post queries in the learning management system as well while working on assignments. During the live sessions, you can ask questions to the expert and get your issue resolved. Sometimes it may be possible to schedule a call with evaluators and discuss with them, but this is at the discretion of the evaluator and at a time of his or her convenience. We cannot handle unlimited calls with every small question. You have to respect the time and availability of the evaluators also. For that, you already have the Learning Management System and the WhatsApp group, where you can post an unlimited number of doubts.
Our training methodology is unique. While any outside authority does not endorse it, the success of our students speaks for itself. Our methodology is described in detail in the previous questions. The legal industry loves to hire our students who have gone through the entire training we provided. Major companies have been hiring us to train their legal teams and managerial executives with cutting edge legal courses. This is proof of our success.

Our experts' weekly online sessions will include feedback on the previous week's exercise and explain new concepts related to upcoming exercises.
Attendance for sessions is not mandatory but crucial for learning to perform exercises that add value. Students who miss the session can watch the recorded versions of the sessions conducted on the Learning Management System (LMS) and the assignment portal (anything that is easier for you, it is uploaded on both platforms). We will add the recorded session to LMS within 48 working hours.
