E-commerce Law

Our Intellectual Property and Information Technology lawyers are expert advisers on the legal issues raised by buying and selling goods and services online.

They advise on compliance with:

  • The laws affecting direct marketing.
  • The laws affecting selling goods and services at a distance (e.g. online).
  • The Disability Discrimination Act 1995, which website owners must bear in mind.

As compliance is not just a case of putting in a few select words in your contracts or emails, we can assist with issues, which often involve:

  • Giving your website a “legal health check”.
  • Reviewing your marketing and sales processes/procedures.
