Providing practical advice to e-commerce businesses transacting online

Our e-commerce law team has a strong track record advising clients of all shapes and sizes on their e-commerce approaches, including the regulatory requirements for setup, data protection and privacy alongside IP considerations.

When conducting business online it is cost effective to get things right from the beginning. Businesses face a number of issues when operating online that can affect both profit and reputation.

In conjunction with our technology specialists, we provide infrastructure advice to ensure your contracts include the relevant detailed specifications and take into account the particular needs of your business. These include web site terms and conditions, hosting and software service agreements.

We also advise on associated regulatory issues, including contracting electronically, managing the risks associated with hosting third party content and the requirements for publishing guest images and feedback.
