Applications are now open for Data Privacy Lawyers at PSA Legal Mumbai with 1–3 years of post-qualification experience (PQE) to join the growing data privacy practice.
If you are a young legal professional looking to build a meaningful career at the intersection of law, technology, and business, this is your moment. As India’s data protection landscape rapidly evolves under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), organisations across sectors are seeking strong legal partners to help them navigate compliance, governance, and implementation challenges. PSA Legal and especially their Mumbai office is expanding its privacy practice to meet this demand, and we are looking for driven lawyers who want to be part of this fast-growing and high-impact area of law.
This role is ideal for lawyers who enjoy working at the crossroads of regulation, business strategy, and technology—and who are excited about translating complex legal concepts into practical solutions for real-world business problems.
Why Join Our Data Privacy Practice?
Data protection and privacy law is no longer a niche specialisation—it is central to how businesses operate today. From fintech and health-tech to SaaS companies and global enterprises, every organisation collecting or processing personal data must now align its operations with India’s data protection regime.
By joining as one of Data Privacy Lawyers at PSA Legal Mumbai, you will gain hands-on exposure to cutting-edge privacy projects and work with some of the most forward-thinking organisations in India and globally. You will be part of a collaborative team that works closely with legal, technology, product, engineering, and business stakeholders to build privacy-first organisations.
This role offers the opportunity to:
- Build deep subject-matter expertise in India’s data protection regime
- Work directly with clients on strategic and operational privacy challenges
- Gain exposure to global privacy best practices and frameworks
- Develop a strong commercial understanding of how privacy laws impact business decisions
If you are keen to grow into a well-rounded privacy professional who understands not just the law but also how businesses function, this role will help you get there.
What Will You Work On?
As part of the data privacy team at PSA Legal Mumbai, you will be actively involved in delivering high-quality advisory and implementation support to Indian and global clients. Your work will include:
1. DPDPA Advisory for Indian and Global Clients
You will advise clients on compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), including interpreting obligations, identifying risk areas, and helping clients operationalise legal requirements across their organisations.
2. Privacy Assessments and Gap Analyses
You will conduct detailed privacy assessments and gap analyses to evaluate how far a client’s existing practices align with DPDPA and global privacy standards. This includes reviewing policies, processes, contracts, and operational workflows to identify compliance gaps and remediation steps.
3. Designing and Implementing Privacy Frameworks
You will assist in building end-to-end privacy frameworks for organisations, including:
- Privacy policies and notices
- Governance structures and accountability mechanisms
- Operational playbooks for business and product teams
- Data handling protocols and compliance workflows
4. Cross-Functional Collaboration
A key part of the role involves working closely with legal, technology, product, engineering, and business teams. You will be expected to translate legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance that non-lawyers can understand and implement—yes, converting legalese into business English is a real and valued skill here.
