While the internet has become a staple in our lives, the truth is that it is still a fairly young utility. As such, internet law is also a fairly new and ever evolving field, which is why many lawyers simply do not fully understand how the law affects virtual businesses, copyright, and other areas.

If someone has copied your text, images, video, or any other content you hold the trademark or copyright on, you have the right to demand they remove that content. Online, this falls under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We will help you protect your own intellectual property while fighting to have infringing materials removed.
Understanding what data you can collect and how you can use it is key to avoiding fines and privacy law violations. You must disclose what data you are collecting and how you intend to use that data, and you must have user consent in some cases. We will assist you in complying with these regulations, so you avoid unnecessary legal action being taken against you.
