e-commerce & it


Our team advises on all legal aspects of running a business online - from drafting terms and conditions of use to privacy policies, website design, hosting, licensing agreements and privacy policies.

We have advised internet businesses across a wide range of fields including retail, gaming, online publications, dating and social networking websites, business services and rental accommodation. Our clients appreciate the one-stop-shop we offer for internet businesses advising on brand protection and intellectual property (trademarks, domain names and copyright), commercial considerations (such as page ranking and search engine optimisation), regulations (distance selling regulations, consumer protection), data protection and contract law.

We also assist businesses and charities with their IT and telecommunications outsourcing requirements. For example, we recently advised a large multi-site charity on the outsourcing of all of its IT and telecommuications services.

In addition, we draft and prepare standard documents for numerous software and IT businesses.
