The line that matters most: “data privacy experience helpful but not compulsory”

Read that against “must be a competition law and data privacy enthusiast” and the shape of the role becomes clear. ELP is not expecting a fully formed data privacy specialist. It is expecting a strong competition lawyer who is genuinely interested in privacy and can be brought up to speed on the DPDP Act quickly, because the two practice areas increasingly overlap: data-driven mergers raise both antitrust and privacy questions, and dominant platforms are now scrutinised on data practices as much as market share.

That is good news if you are a competition-side candidate weighing whether to apply. It is also exactly the gap that turns a merely interested candidate into a genuinely competitive one: arriving with a working knowledge of the DPDP Act, 2023, consent mechanisms, data fiduciary obligations and breach response, rather than starting that education after you join.

FAQs

I am a competition lawyer with no privacy background. Is this course still useful for me?

Yes, and this is exactly the profile the course is built for. Roles like the one ELP has posted explicitly say data privacy experience is helpful but not compulsory, provided you bring genuine interest and a working understanding of the framework. That baseline is what this course builds.

Do I need prior data privacy work experience to enrol?

No. The course is designed for law, management and technology students, junior and mid-level practitioners, in-house counsel, and anyone transitioning into data privacy, AI governance or data protection who wants an industry-ready certification.

Is this a live course or self-paced?

Self-paced. You work through the modules, sample drafts and recorded material on your own schedule rather than attending fixed live sessions.
