Digital Business, Ecommerce and Consumer

The growth of the internet, digital economy and ecommerce has created many new businesses and opportunities, as well as throwing up a host of new challenges for organisations as they try to keep pace with a changing marketplace, new business models and growing consumer demand.

We advise on a wide range of internet and ecommerce law issues relating to launching, using, developing or migrating to ebusiness and ecommerce platforms in a way which will help clients grow their businesses and maximise online purchasing trends. We also regularly act on investments, acquisitions and disposals in this space.

We advise clients from a range of sectors including financial services, retail, payment providers, fashion, franchise, sport and gaming on all aspects of maintaining online platform. Our advice ranges from online transactions, intellectual property rights and their exploitation, including digital content licensing, contract formation, sales terms and conditions, linking, framing and revenue sharing and all regulatory issues.

In addition, we have an experienced team who act for a number of Amazon FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) and other ecommerce aggregators, on a range of matters, including mergers, acquisitions, disposals, intellectual property protection and other operational matters. Our team is also experienced in acting for the owners and sellers of ecommerce brands selling on Amazon, Shopify and other DTC platforms.
