Register for our FREE & Online (LIVE only) bootcamp and we will show you an opportunity that never existed before

After years of anticipation, India's very first privacy legislation, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), has arrived, unveiling a golden opportunity for thousands of lawyers to specialise in this burgeoning field.

In India, the digital population reached close to 700 million active internet users with 467 million social media users creating mammoth digital data. As a result, India has emerged as the second-largest Internet market.

To minimise the risk and damage from misuse of data, governments across the world have created laws, regulations and frameworks to protect the data of consumers, employees, organisations and users, and to ensure the privacy of individuals globally.

According to Gartner, by 2023, 65 percent of the world’s population will have its personal data covered under modern privacy regulations.

The penalty for not complying with such regulation runs in millions. Non-compliance with privacy regulations may also lead to a complete ban from conducting business in that jurisdiction.
As a result, organisations need to establish a robust team of lawyers skilled in data protection and privacy law.
This means an urgent demand for legal professionals who can navigate the complex waters of compliance and ensure organisations meet regulatory requirements.

Where does this opportunity exist for you?

In-demand roles in legal and compliance - Join dynamic in-house legal, compliance, policy, or privacy teams in law firms in roles such as privacy associates, privacy leads, Chief Privacy Officers, or Data Protection Officers (DPOs).

Help startups in expansion - Startups venturing into multiple countries often encounter global data protection regulations. With your guidance, they can achieve compliance without the need for large compliance teams, opening doors to new opportunities.
Assist tech law firms worldwide - Small and medium-sized tech law firms seek to augment their capacities by cost-effectively outsourcing remote paralegal work. Your skills can be instrumental in helping these firms build a strong foundation.
Guide small businesses toward compliance - Small businesses across the world are in search of expert guidance to ensure compliance with data protection laws for their websites and agreements. Your insights can empower them to navigate these complexities.
Build your own practice in this highly demanded area of data protection and privacy and serve Indian and international clients.
Freelance gigs - If you do not want to become a full-fledged privacy professional, but instead want to use this knowledge to earn extra money & work as a freelancer for global startups this field opens a flood of opportunities for you

How talent arbitrage is opening new doors for lawyers

In the West, regulations like GDPR, one of the widely popular privacy regulations, came into force in 2018, The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the second most popular privacy regulation came shortly after GDPR and created a surge of opportunities for professionals specialising in privacy laws. Now, this wave has reached Indian shores.
As an Indian lawyer, you're not confined to domestic data protection work alone - you have the unique advantage of talent arbitrage, opening doors to global markets.
137 out of 194 countries had put in place legislation to secure the protection of data and privacy and now India joins the league.
Multinational companies are scratching their head trying to align their processes to comply with different regulations.
They are rapidly hiring lawyers who can ensure that the privacy policies of their companies are compliant with the regulations of multiple jurisdictions and yet don’t impose limitations in conducting business in multiple countries.
In addition to that, the global pandemic has led to a technology boom like never before, leading to a boost in e-commerce and several other related industries.
This has created a massive demand for data protection lawyers worldwide as from business to governance, everything is forced to go online.
There is an increasing need to adhere to data protection systems of multiple jurisdictions for global startups, tech companies and MNCs.
There is also research, drafting and compliance work that can be delegated to international remote workers. This has created a unique opportunity for lawyers specialising in data protection laws to do remote freelance work or full-time work for advanced economies.
Do you want to find out how you can cash in on this trend by serving clients in advanced economies like the US, UK and Europe? Are you ready to fast-track your career growth and ride the global wave of opportunities not only in the domestic market but also internationally, all within the ever-evolving field of data protection law?

Register for our FREE & Online (LIVE only) bootcamp on ‘New Opportunities in Data Protection and Privacy Laws for Indian Lawyers’ on September 23-25, 2023, 7.00-10.00 PM IST daily.

We have helped several professionals become data protection and privacy managers, as well as get better jobs, promotions, and opportunities based on their privacy expertise.
Many of them have even built law firms, privacy practices, and independent consulting companies around their expertise in the data protection domain.

Take a look at our immensely successful learners:

Success Stories

Our learner Anurag Sushant worked in a domestic insurance company as an in-house counsel in 2021. Anurag was a young lawyer who wanted to earn more and grow faster and was looking for high-growth areas.
He chose data protection and privacy management after attending one of our bootcamps, realising the massive opportunities in this practice area.
In just 1.5 years, he was able to increase his income by about 5x compared to his first job and ended up moving to Dubai, where he currently lives and works for KPMG Lower Gulf as a Senior Associate in Data Privacy.
Note, nothing that he had done in college was connected with data protection or privacy. But he quit his job to focus full-time on studying the course and started applying for new opportunities in this domain.
He acquired a few certifications with the guidance of our team and also received support while trying to learn the international aspects of his new practice area.
Since data protection and privacy management is a thoroughly high-demand and low-supply area, it helped Anurag get many opportunities.
Within a year, he secured three job opportunities, including two with Big Four firms. He was selected for an interview with a recruiter in Melbourne, Australia.
His first data protection and privacy job was with Deloitte in India, where he worked for about a year.
In his own words, “The Big Four firms are heavily investing in recruiting professionals who are trained in data protection and privacy management. I am very happy to recommend LawSikho if you are looking to become an international professional in the data protection and privacy domain, as their course helped me a great deal to get where I have reached today.”

Shreya Jain, practised litigation for 1.5 years after her graduation. Subsequently, she got married, and as the pandemic disrupted court proceedings, she took a break for approximately two years.
When she resumed, her lack of fluency in the local language made it hard for her to work in the local courts. Besides, she also had to manage her family commitments.
That is when she attended our bootcamp conducted at the end of 2021 on data protection and privacy management and bought our course.

As she says, “No prior technical knowledge of the field is required. I was a complete beginner and started from scratch with the assistance of LawSikho. Nothing that I had done in college was connected with data protection or privacy.”
Through the course, however, she was able to learn several key tasks that are performed in this practice area and gained practical insights. She was also performing assignments regularly and was in the top three of her batch.
Moreover, LawSikho taught her how to reach out to international clients and pitch for work, and prepared her for interviews.
Our team encouraged her to start posting content around data protection and privacy management on social media, based on what she was learning from the course, so she could build her online presence and a track record.
Soon Shreya received an invite from a headhunter on LinkedIn to interview for a remote job with a company based in Gibraltar, UK, who wanted a CIPP-qualified candidate.
Thanks to the guidance and help from her mentors, she had also qualified for the CIPP exam by then, and she was asked to share her resume in March 2023.
She sailed through the interview, courtesy of our assistance with mock interviews, and has been working with the UK-based company for a few months now. Her current remuneration is approximately INR 14 lakh per annum, including incentives.
Among her tasks are policy preparation, preparing SOPs, privacy training, consultations and other kinds of data protection and privacy-related services.
