Picture this: the judge looks across the courtroom and asks, “Which industries in India bring you most often to the bar of law?” As counsel for Lex Gladius, over many years I have answered that question, not in hypotheticals but in cases filed, clients defended, and contracts drafted. Industries such as Technology & Start-ups, Real Estate & Construction, Finance & Fintech repeatedly call for deep legal support—not just reactive litigation but continuous advisory, compliance, risk management.
In this article I draw out which sectors most urgently need legal counsel, how Lex Gladius serves them, and why businesses in those sectors can’t afford to wait.
Sectors with Highest Legal Demand
Here are sectors I observe demand maximum legal support, based on both regulatory complexity, risk exposure, and frequency of disputes:
| Sector | Key Legal Needs / Pain Points |
|---|---|
| Technology & Start-ups / AI / Data | IP protection, data privacy, cyber regulations, investor agreements, contract drafting for SaaS, cross-border issues. |
| Finance / Fintech / Banking | Licensing, regulatory compliance (RBI, SEBI), anti-money laundering, fintech data regulation, contract & consumer dispute resolution. |
| Real Estate & Construction / Infrastructure | Land acquisition & title issues, environmental & zoning law, contract risk (builder-client, contractor-subcontractor), finance & project delays, dispute resolution. |
| Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals | Regulatory approvals, hospital compliance, licensing, liability, intellectual property (patents), medical ethics or malpractice. |
| E-commerce / Retail / Consumer Goods | Consumer protection, logistics/supply chain contracts, intellectual property, data / privacy, digital payments, cross-border trade rules. |
Technology & Deepfake Litigation
One high-profile recent case: Anil Kapoor vs. Simply Life India and Ors. (2023) ‒ Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor filed suit demanding that platforms be injuncted from unauthorized use of his image, voice, likeness in AI-generated content (deepfakes). The Delhi High Court granted an ex parte ad-interim injunction, restraining defendants from using his persona without consent.
This case shows how technology, identity, image rights, and AI intersect—and how urgent it is for businesses in tech (or with public perception/brand) to have solid legal cover.

A Counsel’s Closing Argument
