Counsel For The Technology Economy

SB Tech Associates is India's first comprehensive technology law firm. In seven years we have grown from a founder-led practice in Chandigarh to a three-city advisory platform, without losing the fluency in code, contracts, and commercial judgment that our clients hired us for on day one.

We do not treat technology as a footnote to corporate law. We treat it as the substrate on which modern enterprise is built, and we advise accordingly. 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.

Our Story

Seven Years. One Deliberate Arc.

We are a young firm by traditional measures, and we consider that an advantage. Every engagement since 2019 has been shaped by live exposure to India's technology regulatory moment: data protection, platform liability, outsourcing, and the compliance expectations of global enterprise.

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.

2019

Founded in Chandigarh. Shweta Bansal establishes SB Tech Associates with a focused mandate: technology transactions, regulatory advisory, and disputes where digital infrastructure sits at the centre of the controversy.
2020–22

Depth before scale. Repeat mandates across SaaS, fintech, health-tech, and enterprise IT, drafting MSAs, SLAs, and data-processing agreements that survive technical diligence, not just legal review.
2023

Mumbai & New Delhi. Expansion brings us closer to capital markets, global headquarters, and the policy conversations shaping India's digital economy.
2024–26

A comprehensive platform. A three-office technology law practice spanning transactions, compliance, and disputes, with counsel who bring CTO-level fluency and ex-Big Four compliance leadership to every mandate.

How We Practise

Principles That Govern Every Mandate

Technical Fluency Is Non-Negotiable

We read your stack, vendor map, and data flows before we opine. Advice that cannot survive a CTO's questions is advice we do not give.

Commercial Judgment, Not Template Churn

Our drafts are built for negotiation and operation, allocation of risk, service levels, exit rights, and audit mechanics stated with precision.

Regulatory Foresight

DPDP, sectoral guidelines, outsourcing norms, and cross-border data transfer requirements are integrated into how we structure transactions, not bolted on after signing.

Disputes When Counsel Must Become Advocacy

When relationships fracture, we represent clients in arbitration and litigation with the same command of the underlying technology that informed the original contract.

What We Do

One Firm. The Full Technology Law Spectrum.

From seed-stage SaaS to enterprise transformation programmes, we advise on the legal architecture of how technology is bought, built, deployed, and governed in India.
