Practice
Practice areas: cyber, technology & business law, and litigation
I am an advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of Kerala, with an office at High Court Junction, Ernakulam. My practice centres on cyber, technology and business law: IT Act and cyber crime, DPDP data protection, and commercial, banking, IP and tax matters. It carries those matters, and the criminal, civil, family and service cases that sit alongside them, into the High Court of Kerala and the courts at Ernakulam. Each area page sets out the matters it covers, the law that applies and the forum that hears them.
