E-Commerce Law

Los Angeles E-Commerce Attorney

Many traditional law firms have struggled to understand the legal challenges presented by the Internet and e-commerce. I have made Internet law the cornerstone of my law practice. As such, I am fully capable of helping your business establish Web sites to do business online. From my law office in Los Angeles, I serve clients across the United States and internationally.

Many of the things you take for granted in a brick-and-mortar business can't be taken for granted on-line. As an e-commerce and Internet lawyer, I have handled a wide range of issues unique to the Web, including:

  • Protecting intellectual property such as copyrights and trademarks on the Internet
  • Sales, leases and disputes involving domain names
  • Data encryption and protection standards
  • Web site development deals and disputes
  • Developing Web site terms and conditions and privacy policies
  • Compliance with the federal CAN SPAM Act
  • Reputation management and defamation
  • International business issues and disputes
  • Internet-based contests and sweepstakes
  • Affiliate marketing programs
  • Locating the most advantageous countries and/or states for hosting your e-commerce website
  • Pay-per-click advertising, unfair Internet business practices and Internet scams such as domain name highjacking

Formation of E-Commerce Businesses

As your lawyer, I will review your web site and make sure it does not infringe on existing trademarks and copyrights. I will draft all legal disclaimers and safe harbor statements that will protect your business. I will also help you comply with any federal and state laws.

Where is the most advantageous location for your e-commerce business? We have counseled dozens of e-commerce businesses looking for the most appropriate country/location to form and host their Internet business. Every country has different laws and regulations that affect e-commerce. A lawyer with experience and knowledge as to the global Internet business environment may be essential to your business' global success.
