Sectors

Chambers 32 caters to the following sectors as a part of its legal services.

As the automotive industry evolves with the adoption of breakthrough innovations, from next-generation electric vehicle batteries to advanced driver-assistance and automated vehicle systems, we help our clients develop and acquire new technologies, expand into new markets, refine global supply chains, and capitalize on emerging trends.

Our Firm has agents/attorneys and therefore are best placed to understand and advise on patenting and design issues, autonomous driving, product safety, connectivity, and supply chain protocols.

For today’s employers, managing a global workforce requires complying with local labour and employment laws in multiple jurisdictions, staying abreast of rapidly changing regulations, handling the growing demands of labour unions, and moving talent quickly across borders. It also means developing strategies to retain high-potential employees, especially during reorganizations and spinoffs. To achieve these objectives, it is essential for employers to stay up-to-date on the latest employment trends in areas such as workforce restructuring, reward programs, and labour and human rights.

We advise clients on all aspects of employment law including litigation, transactional and advisory matters, and represent clients before various courts and tribunals, ranging from basic domestic inquiries to cases before the Supreme Court of India.

Evolving regulatory requirements in key real estate markets and rapidly changing economic environments have made it more challenging for other investors to manage their real estate portfolios.

Our team has specialist lawyers who understand the unique commercial and regulatory issues of the sector and are particularly focussed on transactions in the infrastructure, education, hotel, and hospitality sectors.​ The team has an incisive knowledge of property laws and development contracts. ​

We are involved in a wide range of charterparty disputes, dealing with a vast variety of issues relating to laytime and demurrage, off-hire, withdrawal for non-payment of hire, vessel delivery and redelivery, failure to tender redelivery notices, bunker claims, speed claims etc. Additionally, we represent clients in Arbitrations stemming from a charterparty.

Our Firm is also involved in circumstances wherein shipowners face liability for delivering cargo without production of the Bill of Lading, cases involving switching off Bills of Lading, splitting of bills of lading and letters of indemnity. We also advise and appear in Arbitrations.

We provide highly sophisticated and practical advice on data management and data privacy laws to domestic and multinational clients. Our dedicated team of professionals works closely with in-house corporate teams for designing and implementing data security processes and modules. As part of this service line, our professionals conduct regular audits/data mapping to ascertain risk and threats not only to the current setup but also from the future perspective at the client site, and subsequently develop or revise data protection policies and implement data transfer/sharing strategies. Our team is abreast with the latest developments in this area and also holds a deep understanding of issues around cloud usage and complicated cross-border data sharing protocols.

Our Firm assists clients in preventing data loss and data breach, controlling and minimizing incidental responses and providing the best-in-class data security solutions.

The key areas of our expertise includes telecom, broadcasting and entertainment, FinTech, and a host of other emerging technologies such as crypto and virtual currency, blockchain, OTT platforms, e-commerce, online gaming, IoT, AI, AIoT, cloud computing, health-tech, AR/VR/MR/XR, digital maps, drones and robotics among other aspects.

We offer regulatory and transactional advice in this domain. Our experienced team provides industry-specific and tailored advice while working seamlessly with other core practices of the firm enabling us to provide practical and innovative solutions to our clients.

Healthcare and Life Sciences are some of the largest and fastest-growing industries in the world, besides being the most regulated, with rapidly changing rules and regulations that often conflict from one country to another. Healthcare and life sciences companies face several challenges, including trying to understand how these laws impact their market and M&A strategies while contending with rising R&D costs, loss of patent protection of blockbuster drugs, pricing pressures, and competition from generics. Rapid convergence of the healthcare, life sciences and technology sectors requires even more legal expertise given the additional data privacy and intellectual property concerns.

Our Firm applies its expertise in working with companies at every stage of development, from fast-growing startups to mature public companies, in virtually every sector and subsector of the industry — including healthcare services, biotechnology, Medtech and medical devices by providing the best of capabilities in public company representation, M&A, capital markets, regulatory advice or IP and securities litigation.

This is a developing area in the Indian landscape. We provide counsel and representation to athletes, sports leagues, universities, corporate sponsors and a wide range of other industry stakeholders on complex business deals, public policy and litigation. We are also involved in negotiating agreements with broadcasters, distributors, mobile operators, online businesses and social media platforms. 

We bring a wealth of experience and global resources to provide innovative business and financial solutions by developing precedent-setting legal strategies to resolve our client’s most demanding business and legal issues-promptly and efficiently in the sports arena.

Our coverage includes games of chance, video games and Esports. We assist clients navigate the rapidly evolving game development and publishing process, and increasingly the transactional opportunities inherent in the global scene. Our interdisciplinary team delivers sophisticated commercial advice and representation tailored to clients of every size and stage of development.

Our Firm helps clients acquire and invest in gaming companies. We negotiate key media, music, licensing, talent, and other commercial agreements on behalf of game publishers, Esports teams, and talent. We protect strategic intellectual property assets, including, when necessary, in Court. We structure capital raising transactions and guide the establishment of casinos, Esports leagues and ventures. We also resolve disputes and navigate complex regulatory, commercial, and governance issues throughout the industry. In the physical world, we advise on environmental and land issues related to data centre operations and real estate issues that may arise when developing casinos or Esports venues.

We read policies; we negotiate policies; and we even write them from scratch when called upon to help clients address unique risks. We practise insurance law, and we make it — across jurisdictions and across the full spectrum of first and third-party insurance issues.

Our Firm’s insurance counselling and recovery team hopes to positively shape insurance law while helping policyholders maximize their insurance assets to protect against business risk and secure carrier-funded litigation defence. We advise clients both throughout the claims process and, when necessary, through Litigation or Arbitration.

Managing and protecting intellectual property has become increasingly complex for organizations, which often have huge IP portfolios and operations in multiple jurisdictions. Rapid technological advancements have enabled infringers to become more sophisticated, and the rise of intellectual property as a main driver of M&A has made developing strategies to protect these assets even more important.

We bring trial-tested experience to matters ranging from innovative pharmaceutical and technology patent disputes to the copyright, trademark, and trade secrets cases. We approach IP management as a strategic issue and have developed the people, processes and technologies to serve as a one-stop shop for protecting the IP assets of global businesses.

Personal Injury involves legal action as a result of wrongful conduct. The majority of personal injury claims hinge on the principle of negligence. Fundamentally, negligence mandates that every individual in a society must exercise responsibility and refrain from endangering others. It is important to note that not every injury is automatically attributed to negligence. The doctrine acknowledges that certain accidents are inevitable. To establish legal responsibility, the plaintiff must demonstrate that, given the circumstances, a person of reasonable prudence in the defendant’s position would have acted differently, and to absolve legal responsibility, the defendant must demonstrate that, given the circumstances, their actions align with what a person of reasonable prudence in a similar situation would have reasonably done.

Our experienced team of lawyers specialises in navigating the complexities of such cases, whether they involve automobile accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, or other forms of injury.
