Cybercrime, Digital Offences & Technology-Related Disputes
Cyber and technology matters involve legal issues arising from the use of computers, digital networks, online platforms, electronic records, and data systems. In practical terms, the cyber legal framework applies to everyday digital activity—such as online transactions, electronic communications, use of digital signatures, handling of personal data, and conduct on social media and online platforms—subject to the applicable statutory regime.
Professional work under this head may relate to (i) cyber offences and technology-enabled misconduct (such as unauthorised access, phishing/impersonation, identity theft, online harassment, and other offences as defined by law); (ii) data protection and privacy-related concerns, including unlawful access, misuse or breach of personal information; (iii) ecommerce and online transaction disputes, including issues relating to electronic contracts, payment-related disputes, and platform/interface concerns; (iv) intellectual property issues in the digital environment, such as online infringement, misuse of trademarks, and unauthorised distribution of digital content; and (v) matters connected with electronic records and e-governance, including legal recognition and evidentiary compliance of digital documents.
Where required, professional work may include examination and preservation of relevant digital material, preparation of factual briefs and documentation, and filing of appropriate complaints/representations before competent authorities, including Cyber Police Stations/Cyber Cells, in accordance with law. Where proceedings are maintainable, appropriate legal remedies may be pursued before competent courts/fora. The statutory framework in India primarily includes the Information Technology Act, 2000 along with relevant rules, and other applicable penal and procedural laws, depending on the facts.
