Ecommerce and Internet Law Services
Ecommerce involves a broad range of legal disciplines which is hardly surprising since, on one level, the Internet is just another medium for doing business. However, it represents an exciting, innovative medium that creates new possibilities for working relationships and doing business in ways that were simply not possible before.
Kaltons has been actively involved in ecommerce since 1997 and we have seen the market mature beyond the heady days of the “dotcom gold rush”.
We have advised a broad range of organisations of many aspects of ecommerce and Internet law: from major corporations to rapid-growth start ups; from web designers to Internet trade associations; from Internet service providers to providers of high-level Internet support software.
We support and facilitate e-business development in many ways under the laws of England and Wales as well as New York , Australia , Cyprus and the Turks & Caicos Islands.
