Writes on Digital Law
A legal practice with a technology background.
Advocate Joginder Poswal spent 18 years in information technology before entering law, and the practice draws on both.
The work covers DPDP readiness reviews, shareholders' agreements for founders, private family trusts and ongoing regulatory compliance, each grounded in the relevant statute.
Core Principles
Legal advice should be understandable, actionable and free of unnecessary jargon.
Every recommendation is anchored to the relevant Indian statutes and regulatory frameworks.
All consultations are confidential. This practice does not solicit work or guarantee outcomes.
Eighteen years in IT shape how digital operations and their risks are assessed.
Focused advisory across four
specialised domains.
Each practice area combines legal knowledge with practical technology understanding to provide advice that is both legally sound and operationally relevant.
Data Protection & DPDP Compliance
Legal + technical review for organisations that collect, store or process personal data of Indian citizens: DPDP Act 2023 readiness, privacy notices, consent design, breach protocols, vendor DPAs and IT Act 2000 advisory.
Data Protection & DPDP AdvisoryStartup & Founder Advisory
Co-founder agreements, SHAs, ESOPs, SAFE / CCPS, cap-table clean-up and commercial contracts: foundational paperwork for Indian startups.
Startup Advisory DetailsRegulatory Compliance
Companies Act filings, DPDP operational housekeeping, policy drafting and contract-library reviews: a disciplined cadence that keeps a company audit-ready.
Regulatory Compliance ServicesEstate Planning, Wills & Trusts
Will drafting and review, private family trusts, living wills (advance medical directives) aligned with the Supreme Court's revised guidelines, succession planning, NRI estate advisory and family wealth transfer. Sensitive, methodical work.
Estate Planning AdvisoryHow a matter is handled.
Most matters move through the same four stages.
Initial Enquiry
An enquiry comes in through the contact page with a short description of the question, so that its scope can be assessed.
Scope & Review
We review the relevant facts, documents and applicable laws. This step identifies the exact legal issues and determines the advisory approach.
Advisory & Documentation
Advice is delivered in writing, as a compliance review, a contract draft, a succession plan or a policy document, with references to the governing statute.
Follow-Up Support
Questions that come up after delivery are answered, so the advice can be acted on.
Poswal Press
Separate from this legal practice, Advocate Joginder Poswal writes books and produces companion video courses on Indian digital law under an independent publishing imprint, Poswal Press.
The imprint is a resource for readers and learners; it does not offer legal services and is not part of this advocate’s legal practice.
Legal advisory for people who need answers, not ambiguity.
Typical matters involve founders launching technology products, families planning succession and NRIs with assets in India.
DPDP compliance, privacy policies, contracts and governance from day one.
Corporate compliance, vendor agreements and regulatory advisory for growing companies.
Will drafting, estate planning and succession advisory that protects family interests.
Cross-border asset advisory, Indian property matters and succession planning from abroad.
Answers before you even ask.
Understanding what to expect makes the first step easier. Here are the questions most people ask before reaching out.
This practice provides advisory, consultation, drafting and compliance services. It does not involve representing clients in court proceedings. The focus is on preventing issues, ensuring compliance and providing clear documentation, not on courtroom litigation.
Four core areas: Data Protection & DPDP Compliance (DPDP Act 2023, IT Act, privacy notices, breach response); Startup & Founder Advisory (SHAs, ESOPs, SAFE / CCPS, commercial contracts); Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts (will drafting, private family trusts, living wills, succession, NRI advisory); and Regulatory Compliance (Companies Act filings, policy drafting, governance housekeeping).
With 18+ years in IT before entering law, Advocate Poswal understands technical systems, data flows, digital operations and technology risks. This is especially valuable for cyber law, DPDP compliance and advising tech-driven businesses where legal issues often have a technical dimension.
