The Internet has changed the way the world thinks about and conducts business. While the old adage “It’s a whole new ball game” may be true every few months, our NYC internet attorney team continuously studies the playbook and provides strategies for clients that help create a strong foundation while providing the flexibility necessary to adapt as developments in this ever-changing landscape occur often.
The legal issues related to the use of the Internet by individuals and businesses alike cut across a variety of legal disciplines that together make up the practice of Internet, E-Commerce, and Social Media Law. Whether you are an entrepreneur launching your first e-commerce business or an established social network, publisher, website, technology provider or other Internet platform or a company, school, or organization looking to develop a social media policy for your business, employees, stakeholders, and others, our NYC Internet attorney team can provide the counsel needed at different points along the way.
From developing and protecting client’s rights to online-based content and intellectual property, to structuring terms and conditions, terms of use, platform service agreements and privacy policies that govern users participation on a website or Internet platform or a purchase from an e-commerce site, developing protocols and reviewing content for advertising and marketing efforts, addressing issues related to user-generated content, providing companies with the legal tools they need to effectively operate their e-commerce businesses and create policies (and when needed, responded to issues) related to privacy and data security, our NYC internet attorney team is positioned to be a resource every step of the way.
