One law degree. Several ways in.
Wherever your degree is today, tech law is the same work: drafting and review for technology companies, most of it never seen in a courtroom.
Your LLB is in a drawer
Plenty of LLB graduates end up in a BPO, in HR, in a bank, in compliance, in content or in a back office. Tech law uses that degree without a courtroom and without quitting your job. In compliance with a law degree? Companies must be DPDP-ready by May 2027.
Law students, new graduates & junior lawyers
Law college never taught you tech law. Start your career in the work startups need. Junior lawyers: get clients of your own, not your senior's files.
Litigators & court lawyers
Add tech disputes to your practice. Legal notices become takedown and breach notices, criminal complaints become cyber-offence complaints, recovery suits become recovery of unpaid software dues. Consumer court lawyers already argue refund and deficiency of service cases.
Practising lawyers: firms, banking, tax, mid-career
Banking or NBFC lawyer? Move into fintech law, for lending and payment apps. Tax and GST lawyers: startups need help structuring the company and drafting their contracts. Ten years in practice? Add startup clients. Law firms hire associates who can already do this work.
Want a legal job at a tech company
LawSikho read real legal job posts from 2025 and 2026 at AI, SaaS, fintech, biotech and global capability centre companies. Drafting SaaS and enterprise contracts was in 14 of 17 AI company posts.
Restarting after a break
A break removes a network, not a law degree. The first pieces are self-contained, finished in a few hours and done from home. Your comeback can start from your dining table.
Practising in a small town
Court work is tied to a place. Technology work is not. The client is a company that lives on the internet, and the document arrives and goes back by email. No metro move needed.
Want income in dollars from home
US lawyers pay remote paralegals in India for first drafts of software contracts, website terms and privacy policies, in the hours you choose.
- You are a lawyer or a law student. You do not need to be enrolled or practising.
- You can give a few focused hours a day, alongside your job or practice.
- You can already read a contract and read a law. That is what this work needs.
Twenty tasks. Not one of them a courtroom.
A startup signs a customer: someone drafts the software contract. A product launches: someone marks up the SLA. Content gets stolen: someone drafts the DMCA notice. That someone can be you. Six of the 20 kinds of work:
Draft a software development agreement
The contract a US tech lawyer hands down most often: specs, milestones, testing and who owns the code. You draft one with the teacher, clause by clause.
Draft an online store's refund policy
Cancel, return, pick up, refund, with clear timelines. Every online store needs one.
Review a startup's terms of service
Run the terms against a checklist and send the lawyer a clean list of fixes.
Report trademark abuse on marketplaces and social media
Fake sellers and copycat pages. You file the complaint that takes them down.
Draft DMCA takedown notices for the lawyer to send
DMCA is the US copyright law. When content is copied, this is the notice that asks for it to be removed.
Draft privacy policies and cookie terms
Short, repeatable documents every software company needs, written for each country it sells in.
The other tasks include marking up SLAs, API and integration deals, GDPR privacy policies, influencer contracts, compliance charts, and spotting ChatGPT's mistakes before the lawyer signs off.
Who hands you this work
Small US law firms. They send first drafts and document reviews to a trained paralegal. The lawyer signs off.
Tech startups, in India and abroad. Terms of service, privacy policies and refund policies that nobody on the team has time to write properly.
Online stores and platforms. Every online store needs a refund policy, and every platform needs a way to report copycats and fake sellers.
Clients on the freelance platforms. Upwork and the others are where a large part of this work is actually bought. The camp covers the profile and the proposal.
The five ideas under almost every tech contract
Uptime, downtime and credits: what a software vendor promises about how often its service is available, and what it gives back when it goes down.
Service level metrics: how a support service is measured: first response time, waiting time and replies needed to fix a problem.
APIs: how two pieces of software talk to each other, and the agreement that allows it.
Source code and object code: what programmers write versus what the computer runs. A licence that only says "the software" can leave it unclear which one is handed over.
White labelling: when one company's product is sold under another company's name, and what the contract must say.
Why US lawyers can hand this work to you
A cost they already weigh, a market that is growing, and a rule that allows it.
What small US firms bill non-lawyer time at
Clio found small US firms raised their average non-lawyer billing rate 8.4%, from $178 to $193 an hour. A US lawyer who pays you $2,000 a month still keeps a big margin.Source: Attorney at Work (Clio 2024 Legal Trends Report)Median pay of a US paralegal
About $5,240 a month (May 2025). Remote help from India costs a US lawyer far less, and you still earn well in India.Source: US Bureau of Labor StatisticsUS law firm demand in 2025
Demand for US law firms grew at its best pace since the 2008 financial crisis. Busy firms need more hands, and remote paralegals are a quick way to add them.Source: Thomson Reuters Institute, 2026 State of the US Legal MarketThe rule that allows it
US ethics guidance lets a lawyer outsource legal and support work if the lawyer supervises it and keeps client information private.Source: American Bar Association, Formal Opinion 08-451No US bar exam needed
You do not practise US law. You work as a paralegal who supports a US lawyer, and the lawyer stays responsible for the work.What a dollar buys
On 25 September 2026, $2,000 a month was about ₹1,91,660 a month.Source: Wise, September 2026These are facts about the market and the rules. They are not a forecast of anyone's earnings.
The route we teach, in 5 steps
Your degree already qualifies you. Here is what was missing.
A different kind of legal work, not a new degree
Tech law is the contracts, policies and compliance that tech companies need. It is drafting and review, and most of it never sees a courtroom.
Build proof of your skill
You leave the camp with drafts you did yourself: the samples you show a US lawyer before they hire you.
Find the lawyers and startups who need help
Thousands of small US firms are listed on the California Bar site, Justia and the ABA directory, and startups on accelerator lists and Startup India. We show you how to pick the right ones.
Reach out with a message that gets replies
Outreach scripts that offer help first, and a freelance profile headline that wins paralegal work. Small US firms want to be known, so offering to help with their blog or newsletter often comes before the drafting work.
Win the first job, then grow
Start at a rate that wins work, offer a short free trial, collect reviews, then raise your rate.

Live online, 4 to 6 November. Nine hours in all. Real documents, not slides.

Questions
I work in a BPO, HR or content job. Do I have to quit?
No. The three sessions are in the evening. You can start small alongside your job and decide later how far to take it.
I've been away from practice for years. Is this for me?
Yes. The bootcamp starts from the basics of how tech businesses work and what lawyers do for them. You don't need recent court or law firm experience to follow it.
Do I have to give up my court practice?
No. The camp is in the evening and the work is done by email, so it sits alongside a court practice rather than replacing it.
Do I need to be a practising lawyer?
No. You do not need to be enrolled or practising. The work is drafting and review, not court appearances.
Do I need a tech or coding background?
No. The legal work depends on the business model, not the code. Day 1 explains the few technical terms you need, such as uptime, APIs and source code, in plain words.
Will a company abroad really give work to a lawyer in a small city?
They buy the work, not the address. What they check is the sample and the recommendation, which is why the camp has you produce both.
Can a US lawyer really use a paralegal in India?
US ethics guidance (ABA Formal Opinion 08-451) allows a lawyer to outsource legal and support work if the lawyer supervises it and keeps client information private. Each lawyer decides whom to hire. You support the lawyer, and the lawyer signs off.
Where do I find the lawyers and startups?
In public places: bar directories, lawyer directories such as Justia, and startup accelerator lists. The sessions show you how to choose them and what to write.
Will I get a job or clients after this?
The bootcamp gives you the skills, the samples and the outreach plan. It does not promise a job, an internship, a client or any income. That depends on your work and your outreach.
Who teaches it?
The sessions are run by the LawSikho team, including Roshan Mariyam, a lawyer and company secretary, Sampark Kumar Setia, and Bhavti Pujara, a lawyer with courtroom experience. Abhyuday Agarwal, co-founder, joins them.
Is there any cost?
No. Registration is free and there is nothing to pay to attend.
Is it recorded?
No. The live sessions are not recorded, so keep all three evenings free: 4, 5 and 6 November, 7 to 10 PM IST.
What do I need to attend?
A laptop and a stable internet connection. Nothing to prepare. The joining details reach you after you register.
Do I still get the templates if I miss part of a session?
Templates and guides go to people who attend live, for at least 2.5 hours of that evening. Plan to stay for the whole session.
Give your degree its first real job
You can already read a contract and read a law. These three evenings show you the work tech companies hand to remote paralegals, and how to reach the people who hand it out. 4, 5 & 6 November · 7–10 PM IST · free · live only.
