Running a business online raises legal questions that do not come up offline: how your terms bind users, when you are responsible for what other people post, how you handle payments and consumer rules across borders, and how you protect your name in a namespace anyone can grab. We help internet companies handle all of it. The firm's software-engineering roots mean we understand how your platform is built, not just how the law reads on paper.
E-Commerce And Online Contracting
Selling online means your contract is formed by a checkout flow, and the details of that flow determine whether your terms are enforceable. We draft website terms and conditions, structure online contracting and checkout so agreements actually bind, advise on consumer protection compliance, handle payment processing arrangements, and work through the added rules of cross-border sales. The goal is a buying experience that converts customers while leaving you protected if a transaction goes wrong.
Platform Liability And Moderation
If your business lets users post, sell, or interact, you face liability and regulatory questions that pure publishers do not. We advise on Section 230 and platform immunity, content moderation policies and how to enforce them consistently, marketplace liability, user-generated content, and the terms of service that govern your users. We help you write policies you can actually apply at scale and that hold up when a takedown, a banned user, or a regulator challenges them.
Domain Names And Online Brand
Your domain and online identity are part of your brand, and they get squatted on, copied, and confused with others. We help you plan and manage a domain portfolio, pursue domain disputes through UDRP proceedings and the courts, address cybersquatting, and protect your brand against impersonation and confusion online. When someone registers a domain to trade on your name, we move to recover it through whichever path is fastest and most cost-effective for your situation.
Online Advertising And Marketing
Digital marketing comes with its own rules, and enforcement in this area is active. We advise on online advertising and marketing compliance, including disclosure requirements, endorsement and influencer rules, email and messaging regulations, and the substantiation behind your claims. We help you run aggressive campaigns that still stay inside the lines, so a growth tactic does not turn into a regulatory complaint or a class action down the road.
