I want to start my career in technology law but the space is vast and quite confusing. Please suggest what are the different roadmaps I can follow to learn and grow as a lawyer in this space?
Is specialising further in this area a good idea? What are my options?
How is it vast? Wahi 2 3 guidelines, rules hi toh hai.
Dude if you like tech, do tech, study engineering or something and do tech or coding, tech law is not exclusively practiced as there isn't much work. It's clubbed as tmt
You can do more than join a law firm. Depending on whether you want to do research, work in house or join a firm, you can learn different things. It'll help to start reading about emerging tech. Set a news alert and follow tech news and writing.
My query never asked for law firm details. There is ample information on teams and their work profiles on the internet. :)
Like you mentioned, I want to know the scope and variety of work in this field. Should one focus on just one area, say privacy, or everything under the Sun? From emerging tech to e-commerce and more?
Are there any good quality online courses that are recommended for professionals? I think those may help me at least understand the field in a more structured manner.
It sounds like you want to do a specialised LLM which is actually a good way to understand a new field. If you feel confident about scholarships and loans, most of the top US law schools offer LLMs that will teach you what you need. You could do cheaper versions in Europe or the UK but they are not as good at tech law. The online courses are frankly bullshit. No one who is really good at this would be doing that nonsense for a living.
