E-business & E-commerce

Experience

Our team provide a range of e-business and e-commerce advice ranging from the design and development of agreements for bespoke software application and drafting of terms and conditions and privacy policies; to contract advice for companies engaging in joint ventures for the provision of IT and e-commerce solutions.   

For those companies that sell goods or services on-line we can assist with the format of the web pages to ensure that the site complies with the variety of legislation affecting the sale of goods or services on-line.  To ensure compliance with the regulations we provide proactive advice in the form of a 'legal audit'.  This service is recommended to companies already engaging in e-commerce, but this is particularly important to start-up businesses looking to give themselves a presence on the web.  

Stephen Avila in our team is particularly highly regarded in the region and sits on a panel of experts for the Essex E-Business Club, which provides legal advice for over 500 members.  He is regularly invited to provide in-house seminars and updates to businesses based in and around London, such as British Telecom.  The Chamber of Commerce and Business Link also frequently recommend Stephen to firms looking for e-commerce and IT law expertise outside the City.
