About

One practice, built across two legal systems.

A data privacy consulting practice founded and led by Abhishek Bansiwal, an Indian-qualified lawyer. The work spans the EU, UK, US, Gulf, India, and APAC, with a specialism in the GDPR–DPDPA corridor that most privacy consultancies cover from only one side.

The route here

  1. 01

    Law, first

    Qualified as a lawyer in India and built the habit that still defines the practice: read the statute, not the summary of the statute.

  2. 02

    Into data privacy

    Moved from general practice into privacy full-time, programme operations, assessments, and the unglamorous work of making compliance real inside a business.

  3. 03

    LL.M., Trinity College Dublin

    Deepened the EU side: European data protection law studied where it's enforced, in one of Europe's regulatory capitals.

  4. 04

    The practice today

    A consulting practice serving clients across the EU, UK, US, India, and Australia: appointed DPO work, DPIAs, transfer suites, certification programmes, and privacy operations, delivered hands-on.

How we work

The rules the practice runs on.

Practitioner, not slideware

The advice comes from running live privacy programmes daily: DSARs, DPIAs, regulator correspondence. Not from a methodology deck.

Honest scoping

If you don't need it, you'll hear that. If someone else is better placed for a piece of work, you'll get the referral.

Documentation that survives scrutiny

Everything is built to be shown to a regulator, an auditor, or a procurement team without a rewrite.

Both sides of the corridor

GDPR practice in the EU, legal qualification in India, companies bridging the two get one advisor instead of two translations.
