About

Shivani Parashar
Founder & Principal Counsel

Shivani Parashar is a specialist in intellectual property, technology law, digital media, and advertising compliance, with over five years of experience advising technology companies, SaaS businesses, agencies, brands, and creators at the intersection of content, commerce, and intellectual property. Her practice is built on a depth that most commercial lawyers do not have: she has worked inside digital and media businesses, not just advised them from a distance.

Her core focus spans IP strategy and enforcement, including copyright registration, trade mark protection, software IP, and AI-generated content ownership, alongside SaaS and technology agreements, influencer and UGC contracts, content licensing, and digital advertising compliance under ASCI Guidelines, IT Rules 2021, the Consumer Protection Act 2019, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, and GDPR. She has particular depth in the creator economy and influencer management space, providing end-to-end legal support including high-volume drafting of talent agreements, brand collaboration contracts, and roster management documentation that keeps fast-moving teams operating without legal bottlenecks. She has designed compliance frameworks across more than 200 brand collaborations and managed IP enforcement activity from DMCA takedowns through to pre-litigation resolution, without a single formal litigation to date.

Clients working in AI, SaaS, and technology-adjacent industries come to Cipher Law for IP structuring and protection, software licensing, and commercial agreements built around how their products actually work. As AI-generated content reshapes how brands, agencies, and creators produce and distribute work, Shivani advises on the evolving legal questions around ownership, licensing, disclosure, and platform liability, helping clients build commercial structures that are both legally sound and operationally practical well before disputes arise.
