Cyber matters are time-critical in a way most litigation is not. In an online financial fraud the realistic window for freezing a transfer is measured in hours, which is why the first step is almost always the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal and the bank's nodal officer, not a court.
For individuals
We assist with cybercrime complaints, requests for takedown of defamatory or intimate content, action against impersonation and fake profiles, and follow-up with investigating agencies and intermediaries where a complaint has stalled.
For organisations
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 has changed what businesses that collect personal data are required to do. We advise on consent notices, purpose limitation, retention, breach reporting obligations, processor contracts and internal grievance mechanisms, and draft the documents that go with them.
