Education & Ed-Tech

The education sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by both traditional learning institutions and the rapid rise of digital technology. We provide comprehensive legal services to clients navigating this evolving landscape in India, assisting with the distinct challenges faced by both conventional educational establishments and innovative ed-tech platforms. We offer strategic guidance and end-to-end solutions that help businesses thrive while ensuring compliance with a complex and rapidly changing regulatory environment.

Education

The formal education sector is a complex web of regulatory frameworks and operational challenges. We advise a wide range of clients, from international universities establishing Indian campuses to K-12 school groups. We assist with all stages of business, including structuring new ventures, joint ventures, and strategic investments. We provide legal counsel on compliance with key regulatory bodies like the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), as well as on real estate, intellectual property, and employment matters. Our expertise also extends to advising on the legal implications of the NEP 2020, including provisions for foreign universities and the regulatory changes impacting private institutions.

Ed-Tech

The ed-tech sector is experiencing exponential growth, but it operates in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. We help businesses navigate new challenges related to consumer protection, data privacy, and intellectual property. We provide guidance on compliance with the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, which has significant implications for how user data, particularly of minors, is handled. We also assist with a range of legal needs, including funding and investment, contract negotiations for content licensing, and ensuring fair trade practices in advertising and sales.
