In a world where technology is moving faster than most regulations, lawyers cannot ignore AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, and digital business models anymore. Manupatra Academy's Tech Law Winter School 2026 is designed to help you build that edge in a clear, practical way.

Over two weeks, from January 21 to February 3, 2026, this fully online Winter School blends live theory sessions with hands-on drafting.

The aim is simple: to show you how tech law works in real life, not just on paper.

In 10 expert led modules, you will explore high demand areas like data protection, AI liability, blockchain contracts, cyber incident response and IP strategy in the digital space. You will not only learn the law but also apply it through practical assignments such as drafting cyber cell complaints, privacy policies, smart contract clauses and legal opinions. The idea is to mirror real industry workflows so you feel closer to actual practice.

What makes this program stand out is the faculty. Sessions are led by practitioners who work on these issues every now and then. Their inputs help you connect classroom concepts with real-world expectations and client work.

The course involves live interactive sessions, Q&A in each module, access to session recordings for later revision, and a resource toolkit with templates and checklists. By the end, you walk away with not just an understanding of tech law, but with also professionally ready documents and skills. A certificate of completion adds credibility to your academic and professional profile.
