TECHNOLOGY, MEDIA & DIGITAL LAW

In a rapidly changing regulatory landscape, businesses need more than just legal advice, they need clarity. At Thistle&Law LLP, we help clients navigate complex, sector-specific laws that define how modern industries operate. Whether it’s technology and media compliance, renewable energy regulation, or infrastructure project approvals, our team combines deep legal knowledge with a practical understanding of how regulators think and businesses function.

Our approach is strategic, precise, and proactive. We work with startups, corporates, and investors to anticipate legal challenges, ensure regulatory readiness, and align compliance with business goals, across India and cross-border markets.

Data is at the core of every modern business, and its protection is no longer optional. We advise organizations on India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), global frameworks such as the EU’s GDPR, and sectoral data standards applicable to healthcare, fintech, and SaaS platforms.

Our work includes drafting privacy policies, consent mechanisms, data processing agreements, and incident response frameworks.

We also advise on cross-border data transfers, encryption, anonymization, and lawful bases for processing under multiple regimes.

Beyond compliance, we help clients build trust, turning data protection into a competitive advantage rather than a constraint.

 We advise technology and media businesses at the intersection of innovation and regulation. From SaaS product compliance and digital advertising standards to OTT content regulation and telecom licensing, our practice spans the full TMT spectrum.

Our team assists in structuring digital products, drafting platform and user agreements, navigating intermediary liability, and ensuring adherence to IT Rules and TRAI guidelines.

We also guide clients on content moderation, copyright management, and influencer and advertising disclosures, ensuring compliance without stifling creativity or scale.

India’s transition toward renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure brings complex legal obligations. We advise developers, utilities, and investors on generation, transmission, distribution, and tariff-related regulations under the Electricity Act and CERC/SERC frameworks.

Our team assists in drafting and negotiating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), EPC contracts, and regulatory filings. We also advise on renewable energy certificates, grid codes, and compliance audits.

Our goal is to support clean energy projects that are both commercially viable and regulatory-compliant.

 Large infrastructure projects demand precise coordination between commercial, legal, and governmental processes. We support clients through every stage, from bidding and project structuring to execution and regulatory approvals.

Our experience covers Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models, Engineering Procurement & Construction (EPC) contracts, and concession arrangements in transport, logistics, and urban infrastructure.

We also advise on environment, land, and operational clearances, ensuring projects progress without regulatory bottlenecks or contractual disputes.

Our maritime law practice assists shipowners, financiers, and logistics operators in navigating the highly specialized field of admiralty and shipping law.

We advise on vessel acquisition and finance, ship management, charterparty contracts, and insurance arrangements.

Our team also handles port operations, cargo claims, and disputes arising from collisions, demurrage, and freight recovery.

From compliance with the Admiralty (Jurisdiction and Settlement of Maritime Claims) Act to global conventions and flag-state rules, we help clients operate smoothly across domestic and international waters.

Regulation shouldn’t slow progress, it should define it. At Thistle&Law, we see compliance not as a checkbox but as a roadmap to sustainable growth.

Our sector-focused team translates complex laws into actionable strategies, helping clients stay ahead of regulatory shifts while building credibility and resilience.

We bridge the gap between law, policy, and business, so that our clients can build confidently, compliantly, and with foresight.
