About The Firm

We Connect Technology With Law, Then We Build, Argue, And Deliver.

SB Tech Associates is India's first comprehensive technology law firm. Our lawyers don't just advise on code. Many write it, ship products, and can step into a CTO's chair when your deal, product, or dispute demands it.

We translate architecture, data flows, and platform risk into legal positions that survive negotiations, investor diligence, regulator scrutiny, and the courtroom.

Compliance should enable growth, not paralyse it. We replace fear-driven checklists with counsel that unlocks funding, partnerships, and scale while still being defensible when it matters.

When Disputes Arise

From commercial litigation and cross-border arbitration to technology transfer conflicts, we connect the technical record to the legal argument, and fight for positions that hold.
