Internet and E-Commerce Law

E-commerce is now a fact of life and has revolutionised the way business is conducted nationally and internationally.

But there can be pitfalls – specific legislation applies to e-commerce businesses and websites in general. So, if you are thinking of taking your existing business online, or setting up a new internet venture, be sure to take advice from our commercial team.

Alternatively, if you are a developer or digital media agency, we can help you to tighten up your contractual relationship with your customers so you are better placed to deal with copyright ownership, “design creep”, delivery and testing obligations, and disputes over payment for initial design work and at the final sign-off stage.

Our solicitors can advise you on:

• Confidentiality agreements
• E-marketing legislation
• Hosting contracts
• Development agreements
• Distance Selling Regulations
• Data Protection and privacy
• Online advertising arrangements and agreements
• Intellectual property issues connected with websites and development
