• Data protection considerations for online businesses
• Payment processing and related contractual matters
• Cross-border online trade within the European Union

Where a dispute arises from an online transaction, the firm advises clients on their position and the options available for resolution.

The firm keeps in view the practical realities of running an online business, aiming to provide guidance that is workable alongside a client's day-to-day operations.
