"I grew up in an era when people used to gawk at a computer if they ever saw one. Technology has changed the world before my eyes.
And it is still changing faster than ever. I am sure you can see the difference between your childhood and the childhood of the kids now. The difference is stark.
We do all the things we used to do earlier using technology, and we do a lot of things today that did not exist in the pre-technology world.
Commerce has changed the most. Most of it is enabled by tech. As a result of this, the use of technology has given birth to a lot of important, new, and complex policy, ethical, logistical, and moral issues that require legislations to deal with them. Apart from laws, contracts and business practices have also developed to deal with a brave new world.
This is one area of law where expertise, knowledge, innovation, creativity really matters. More than settled questions, new issues arise that require further legal process.
And technology law today is the hottest, burgeoning, most in-demand specialisation for lawyers.
Given that technology companies are rich and prosperous, it is profitable to work for them as lawyers, whether as in-house counsels or tech-focused private practice.
A lot of pathbreaking technology is on the way. AI, blockchain, cybersecurity, healthtech, telemedicine, nanotechnology, 3d printing, drones, fintech, synthetic food, autonomous transport, spacetech - there are entire industries growing that will keep tech lawyers very busy in the next decade.
If you are interested in technology, or if you are fascinated by the challenges of regulating technology, you may want to pursue Technology Law. You may want to pursue it simply because you realize the tremendous opportunity it represents." - Banshidhar Pramanik, Founder & CEO, IPLS
