Computer, Technology & E-Commerce Law

Technology is everywhere you are. It is an integral part of our society and it plays an ever-increasing role in how we live and conduct business. It is not an exaggeration to state that it will soon not be possible to compete in today's electronic marketplace without an effective and distinctive technical infrastructure and online presence. The Firm has the specialized knowledge to offer legal counsel and advice that addresses the intellectual property, eCommerce and technology related business issues, interests and needs of our clients to help them achieve their objectives while avoiding potential pitfalls.

The Firm assists its clients in the design, purchase and implementation of their computer network by ensuring that the hardware, software, and technical support solutions serve their unique and particular needs and interests. In addition, the Firm’s attorneys advise clients concerning the novel challenges and issues created by conducting business and communicating over the Internet including, but not limited to, Internet advertising, sweepstakes and promotions, email marketing, domain name registration, content licensing, software development and licensing, terms of use and privacy issues, online defamation and cyberslander, and other misuses of the Internet.

Technology has also changed the relationship between employer and employee. Our Firm offers comprehensive, in-depth services to employers regarding employee security risks, company rights to an employee or independent contractor's work product, employee e-mail rights and Internet access, and other technology issues affecting the employer/employee relationship.

The development and protection of intellectual property including copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets are critical to the success and survival of many companies. Combining experience with specialized technical knowledge, the Firm is able to properly evaluate its clients' intellectual property so as to maximize and protect its value.
