Internet Law

Company website, online-shop or social media: the omnipresence of the internet and its established usage entails numerous legal questions and challenges. Requirements for a compliant online presence include:

• Information obligations (imprint, disclosure) for websites and social media platforms
• Drafting and updating general terms and conditions (GTC)

The internet is by far a space without legal regulations. E.g. copyright, trademark law and personality rights also apply to online actions. Non-observance may cause severe consequences!

• Usage of images, videos or songs on the internet
• Defamatory postings or even hate speech in social media
• Online advertising or web use of trademarks
• Domain disputes
