Advocate Joginder Poswal
I am an advocate specialising in non-litigation legal advisory, drafting, and consultation. Prior to my legal career, I spent fifteen years in the IT sector, focusing on digital infrastructure, systems architecture, and compliance-driven environments. This experience enables me to understand both the technical and legal aspects of issues such as data breaches, cybercrime complaints, and commercial contracts.
My practice focuses on three areas: cyber law and data protection, corporate and commercial law, and inheritance and estate planning.
15 Years in Technology. Now in Legal Practice.
Before I became an advocate, I worked for fifteen years in information technology, where I focused on digital infrastructure and compliance integration.
This background shapes how I handle legal matters today. It helps me give clients practical solutions based on real technical know-how.
With this technical foundation, I start data breach cases by checking what data was handled, how it was stored, and which systems were used, since the DPDP Act 2023 depends on these details. When I review commercial contracts, I look at how they work in practice, not just the words. For cybercrime complaints like UPI fraud or account freezes, I use my direct experience with these systems.
I am enrolled with the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana (Enrolment No. PH/9616/2023) and practise exclusively in non-litigation legal advisory, drafting, and consultation.

Law Informed by Technical Understanding
Most legal disputes involving technology possess a technical dimension that a purely legal analysis may overlook. For example, a data breach constitutes not only a compliance failure but also a systems event. Similarly, a cybercrime complaint requires understanding the technical execution of the fraud, not merely its criminal aspects. A startup’s liability under the DPDP Act is determined not only by legal drafting but also by the architectural design of its product.
With fifteen years of experience in technology-driven environments prior to enrolling as an advocate, I am able to engage with the technical facts of a matter, not just its legal aspects. This background enhances the quality of my advisory work, the accuracy of drafting, and the identification of compliance gaps that a purely legal perspective might overlook.
I do not make claims regarding outcomes or guarantees. Each matter is addressed based on its specific facts and the applicable law.
