Driven by excellence, focused on strategies for the longer term.

This is the crux of who we are. It is an articulation of precision in purpose, from the Firm’s beginnings to where we are today. Our collective eye is unerringly trained on tomorrow.

Deep sectoral expertise across services and industries.

Our insistence on strategic advisory exacts an in-depth understanding of and involvement with our clients’ businesses and industries. We engage not just individual businesses, but also contribute to the country’s legal and regulatory frameworks.

Personal commitment supported by experience and grit.

We commit early. We pull together internally for greater support. Every effort is sincere, every individual deeply dedicated to their task, their role, to the Firm.

Our undertakings for long-term impact are an organic extension of our purpose.

They are to employ our deep knowledge of the law beyond the business, the transaction, the deal. To use the opportunities and skills we possess, to reflect on the culture we’re creating. Individually and collectively, these are our efforts to help shape the thinking of our future generations, and arm them with strategies for true, sustainable growth.

Knowledge-sharing is intrinsic to equity and inclusivity.

This is a repository of thought leadership, deep insights and strong viewpoints, legal and other news and events and how they impact the industry and our clients.

Relevance is critical to growth. It necessitates a firm that is dynamic and responsive.

Amplifying intrinsic talent, sharpening skills, expanding knowledge, is vital to leading. It defines every aspect of how our firm functions and transacts. This is how we create new benchmarks and set industry standards.

Data Privacy & Protection

Going beyond traditional counsel to offer tailormade solutions on business strategies.

OUR
PRACTICE

AZB & Partners is highly regarded by clients and our peer network, for our specialised and diverse experience in the privacy and data protection space. Our team comprises CIPP / E certified professionals, industry body representatives and sectoral experts in TMT, Fintech, healthcare, IT, intellectual property, e–commerce, blockchain, AI, automotive, electronics and financial and payment technologies. This enables us to better understand the technology and regulatory space our clients operate in and render nuanced advice.

Our lawyers work on both advisory and transactional mandates and often in a cross–jurisdictional context. We participate in stakeholder and regulatory consultations on the evolving privacy and data protection framework in India. Clients seek our assistance while preparing for depositions before Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) constituted to examine the PDP Bill.

WHAT
WE DO

AZB’s highly specialised privacy and data protection practice helps clients formulate their data protection management programme, develop data protection policies, document data flows within their organisation and categorise sensitive personal data to ensure that requisite controls are put in place to safeguard such data from threats.

Our lawyers are adept at identifying legal and regulatory risks related to non–compliance with data protection frameworks and providing strategic opinions on the adoption of the ‘privacy by design’ principle while creating new technologies and systems.

All client mandates are viewed independently and we closely engage with them from commencement till closure, sharing insights on critical regulatory and/or legislative developments. We also conduct training sessions within client organisations to educate them on compliance requirements relating to collection, handling and processing of personal data, guiding them on best practices to mitigate data breach risks.
