Mithila GupteAssociate

I sit within the commercial team and although my main area of focus is data & privacy, I also advise on matters from a commercial, consumer and technology perspective.  I hold the IAPP CIPP/E data protection/privacy accreditation.

Prior to joining Lewis Silkin in 2018, I trained and practiced at a US law firm. I have wide experience in dealing with international clients, having focused on large-scale commercial contracts and due diligence projects with cross-border elements.

Data & Privacy

I have advised a number of high profile clients on a range of data and privacy issues, including privacy notices, online data collection, marketing strategies, data processing and sharing arrangements and international transfers.

Examples of my recent work include advising:

• large multinational organisations on the data protection aspects of international data transfer issues and the potential impact of Brexit;
• various organisations in the consumer technology industry on the status of their GDPR compliance and related remediation steps;
• an international organisation in the technology industry in relation to international regulatory investigations; and

• several companies, across a range of industries, on their approach to cookie compliance.

Commercial and Technology

My work involves advising on a number of general commercial agreements, including drafting and negotiating agreements for the supply of goods and/or services, distribution and agency agreements, and other B2B terms and conditions.

I also regularly assist with a wide range of technology-related agreements including software development, licensing, and other Software as a Service (SaaS) agreements. Examples of my recent work include assisting a major retail organisation with a software development agreement, incorporating aspects of agile project management, and advising a consumer technology platform provider on its provision of e-wallet services.
