E-commerce

Online sales are increasingly regulated, which creates significant challenges for e-commerce entrepreneurs on numerous legal issues. We advise on all of these issues, ensuring that you can focus solely on your core business activities.

We advise on e-commerce regulations regarding data protection, intellectual property, digital transformation, consumer protection law and commercial contract law.

We advise on establishing new e-commerce projects and on auditing existing projects. We prepare the documentation required to comply with regulatory requirements and advise on sales and marketing issues.
