E-commerce and Online Trading Agreements & Compliance

 

E-commerce has grown exponentially in recent years and is now the primary channel through which many businesses drive sales.

The number of people and businesses shopping online is increasing all the time, creating more opportunities for web-based traders to establish themselves and develop in the marketplace. However, trading remotely online does give rise to various regulatory pitfalls which are not associated with traditional bricks and mortar businesses.

There are a range of legal considerations that need to be addressed before going live, including electronic marketing, online trading, distance selling and data protection regulations.

Testimonials

We were keen to complete an asset purchase of an online business within a three-week timescale, in a busy period leading up to the end of the year. Enquiries with other law firms were discouraging but Lanyon Bowdler took on the task and completed the purchase five days ahead of target! The contract documents and proposals were all professionally handled and promptly executed. Well done!
