Legal Solutions for the Digital Economy

The internet has transformed how businesses operate, communicate, and transact. MC Law's Internet practice helps clients navigate the distinctive legal challenges of online business, from platform operations to e-commerce to digital content distribution.

E-Commerce

Online commerce involves specialized legal requirements. We advise on website terms and conditions, online contracting and checkout flows, consumer protection compliance, payment processing arrangements, and cross-border e-commerce.

Platforms and Intermediaries

Platform operators face unique liability and regulatory issues. We advise on Section 230 and platform immunity, content moderation policies and enforcement, marketplace liability, user-generated content, and platform terms of service.

Domain Names and Online Identity

Online identity requires strategic management. We advise on domain name portfolio strategy, handle domain disputes through UDRP and court proceedings, address cybersquatting, and protect brand identity online.

Frequently asked questions

Terms of service should address content ownership, licenses granted by users, prohibited content, and takedown procedures. DMCA compliance protects against infringement liability.

CAN-SPAM requires accurate headers, opt-out mechanisms, and identification as advertising. State laws may impose additional requirements.
