Technology law is constantly changing as breakthroughs are introduced.

Our team of experienced digital technology lawyers is here to help you fully understand how the law applies to your website, social media profiles, apps, and any other technology area you plan on using to reach out to or collect information from your customers. Without a tech lawyer, it’s easy to find yourself facing legal and financial liability, class action and lawsuit threats, temporary (or permanent) bans on your website or social media sites, and other harsh penalties.
What is Technology Law?A Technology lawyer has focused their practice on several key areas that pertain to how technology impacts businesses and users of technology, especially those in areas such as SaaS law, online offerings, including social media and influencing, and related areas. Information technology law can be quite complex, and a general attorney will not likely have the specialized knowledge needed to take on these cases.
A tech lawyer typically understands how internet law coincides with various other areas of the law. For example, a tech lawyer must understand intellectual property, including copyright law, data and privacy, laws as they apply to online advertising and sales, interstate and international issues and much more.
Working with someone who is familiar with these areas of the law and how technology affects them can save you a large amount of time and money. An IP lawyer with knowledge of online copyright, intellectual property, and the DMCA will be able to give you advice. Your company needs a lawyer who is well-versed in online law in order to mitigate against a number of issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions. Our internet lawyers have answers.
A technology attorney is an attorney that understands the laws, be it state or federal, that apply to new and existing technologies. This may be IP, data privacy, or publicity rights laws. This may also be legal issues facing such technology developments as software as a service subscriptions, VR/AR, NFTs, smart contracts and digital currencies. If it touches computers, software, online communications, e-commerce or the Internet, technology lawyers likely are involved.
A tech law matter may range from intellectual property rights and licensing of digital content to dispute resolution involving a particular technology.
Like most patents, it is important to first understand whether the technology is patentable and whether use of it could subject you or your company to claims of patent infringement. From there, a patent attorney can advise regarding the ever-changing landscape pertaining to software patents.
Website agreements typically include a Terms of Service or Terms of Use, a Privacy Policy, and potentially other agreements like a Copyright Policy. These agreements govern the relationship between the company, typically the website owner, and its users and/or customers.
An End-User License Agreement provides rights from the software, app or website owner to its users. Besides the license grant, it contains numerous provisions related to such things as terms and conditions of use, representations and warranties, indemnification and dispute resolution.
Self-help legal is sometimes a necessity for a start-up or individual. There are many providers of templates. However, if it is an important agreement, a technology attorney can help identify issues that are not addressed in the template and customize for your specific needs.How can I make sure my data collection/use is compliant?
Data compliance is a loaded term, and to be truly compliant requires an understanding of the existing and applicable laws as it relates to your data collection, storage, use, sharing and other practices. A technology lawyer can help identify which law applies, what compliance means, and provide solutions in hopes of mitigating against third party claims for non-compliance.
