Our lawyers in Mauritius work with technology companies, offering advice throughout a broad range of areas - from corporate transactions to IP protection, patent law, and including regulatory, compliance, employment and contracting issues.
From startups to fast growing and mid-market businesses to mature global enterprises, our clients are companies that develop or create technology, are enabled by technology, or whose business model is fundamentally based on technology.
We advise technology companies throughout the business life cycle. We help startups get organized and funded and assist both growing and established technology companies in employment matters, commercial and technology transactions and IP patent protection strategies.
Juristconsult Chambers also serves the corporate and regulatory needs of clients in the area of data protection law and privacy law in Mauritius. We give formal legal advice, training and draft policies on data protection law. We also create awareness on the requirements of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which has an extraterritoriality effect and will thus also concern data controllers based in Mauritius.
