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 is a well known fact that more than 1/5th of the Fortune 500 and 1/4th of those in Tech sectors are based in the United States, highest for any country.
It follows that both the work related to technology and resultant compliance and enforcement in the United States has also increased manifold. Consequently, there has been a huge upsurge in the legal work available for lawyers across the globe and specially in the hub of emerging technology, i.e. United States.
In fact, in the United States, most of these companies have to struggle with multi level regulations and compliances.

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 these regulations applicable to the tech industry are very specific in terms of compliances and issues involved and often involve multi sectoral knowledge.
It is not easy to find legal professionals who are skilled in such sector specific laws. Those that are skilled in such areas, can charge a bomb. With average rates per hour of lawyers of even solo lawyers and small firms being at USD348 (see here), and big law firm payments for even associates even reaching at USD1000 per hour (see here), this isn’t an affordable game for startups at all.
Most companies would be looking to use attorneys only when there is no other alternative. If there were options of other legal professionals available for work such as research, compliance or drafting, which might not really need a qualified lawyer, they would gladly take it.
Seemingly, they have found an alternative
Do you know what it is?
Well, most of the technology companies, especially the major players have pledged to have ‘Remote Work Forever’.

Needless to say, smaller companies, especially emerging startups are not far behind.
When you hire remote employees, you can benefit from massive talent arbitrage benefits.
There is a disparity in legal payments even between different states in the United States. Obviously, if companies were to hire remote paralegals from developing countries, they would incur 1/10th the cost of what they would incur in the US for their legal requirements.
This is the reason why there is a surge in freelancing opportunities on the likes of platforms like Upwork and Fiverr.

This surge shows massive opportunities for lawyers and legal professionals from India.
The only real requirement is that you should have the ability to do the work. As well as anyone in the US would do. If you have this, you can avail of incredible opportunities.
We, at LawSikho have always thought about how to skill Indian lawyers to avail opportunities in sectors and in geographies where the demand is higher than the supply. We aim at disrupting the USD 250 billion legal industry in the US by skilling Indian lawyers to secure this opportunities remotely.
We have always curated courses that keep pace with the current development and skill gap, not just in India but across the globe.
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. In the current course, we will do a deep dive into specific sectors, skilling the participants firstly about the business in those sectors, secondly about the legal requirements in that sector and thirdly, about how to reach out and grab the opportunities.
