Internet and Online Law

The internet presents unique legal issues: potential liability in far-flung jurisdictions; major privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA), the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Illinois Biometric Privacy Act (BIPA) — all of which can apply to any business anywhere; online intellectual property rights; online competition law; policies regarding employee or customer internet use; the enforceability of online agreements; web site design and ownership issues; liability for online material (or for censorship of it); the legal implications of blogging, consumer reviews, and file sharing; location technology, logging and tracking, data protection, and invasion of privacy; regulation of e-commerce involving taxation, online gambling, liquor and pharmaceutical sales, and consumer rights; and federal, state, and international laws and treaties affecting online activity.

Our experience in technology law encompasses more than just the internet. We have decades of experience in such areas as software development and licensing agreements, telemarketing rules, trade secret enforcement, non-competition provisions, and non-disclosure issues.
