Competition & Antitrust Law

Strategic legal support for data privacy & cyber law, IT contracts & licensing, and media & entertainment ventures
We navigate the digital frontier — advising on data, deals and disruption in tech-, media- and telecom-driven sectors.
  • Data-privacy, cybersecurity and platform-liability regimes in India are evolving rapidly — including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — making compliance and risk-management essential for any digital business.
  • Technology contracts (software/SaaS licensing, cloud services, platform agreements) and telecom/regulatory frameworks increasingly govern the scalability and monetisation of digital business models.
  • Media, entertainment and telecommunications businesses face complex content, distribution and licensing challenges in a digital economy — from OTT/streaming to telecom convergence and regulatory overlap.

At Aretha Legal, our Competition & Antitrust practice assists clients in both advisory and enforcement-related aspects of competition law. We help design and implement competition-compliance programmes, perform risk audits of business models and contracts, and guide dominant firms or platforms through regulatory interactions.

When investigations are launched by the CCI or associated bodies, we provide full representation—right from dawn-raid responses, leniency applications, settlement negotiations, to litigation before appellate authorities. Our aim is to safeguard your business from antitrust infractions while enabling strategic competitive advantage.
