### FAQs

#### What does an information technology law practice cover in India?

It covers regulatory compliance under the IT Act 2000 and DPDP Act, technology contracts such as SaaS and MSA agreements, software IP protection, data security advisory, intermediary liability, fintech compliance, and dispute resolution for breach of technology contracts or cybercrime matters.

#### When should a tech company or startup engage an IT law firm?

Ideally before launching a product, raising a funding round, or signing a major vendor or client contract. Early legal involvement helps structure IP ownership, draft compliant terms of service, address DPDP Act obligations, and avoid disputes that become expensive to resolve after commitments are made.

#### Which Indian statutes primarily govern IT and data protection matters?

The Information Technology Act, 2000 and its rules, including CERT-In directions on cyber incident reporting, form the core framework. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 governs personal data processing. Sector-specific rules from RBI, SEBI, or IRDAI may also apply depending on the business model.

#### How long does it typically take to negotiate a technology services agreement?

A straightforward SaaS or services agreement can be negotiated in two to four weeks. Complex cross-border MSAs with custom SLAs, data processing addendums, and escrow arrangements often take six to ten weeks. Key cost drivers include deal complexity, number of counterparty markup rounds, and regulatory layering.

#### What documents should a client prepare before engaging IT legal counsel?

Clients should gather existing contracts, privacy policies, terms of service, IP assignment records, data flow maps, incorporation documents, and any CERT-In or regulatory correspondence. For disputes, copies of the relevant agreement, breach notices, and communication trails with the counterparty are essential.

#### What common mistakes do IT companies make with regulatory compliance?

Many companies treat privacy policies and terms of service as templates rather than enforceable legal documents tailored to their data practices. Others miss CERT-In’s six-hour incident reporting obligation or fail to execute proper IP assignment agreements with developers, creating ownership disputes during exits or funding rounds.
