Internet law - e-commerce legal
Adlex have always provided excellent advice regarding legal aspects of the Internet. Refreshingly, Adlex give sound advice, rather than a list of legal possibilities. With more reasonable rates than other so-called experts, we expect to use Adlex for our legal needs, and recommend them.
Gordon Kenneway, Managing Director, Firstserv
Having worked with Adam Taylor very closely for the last three years I have found him to be thorough yet pragmatic, knowledgeable and very commercially aware. I have worked with him on a variety of different types of internet-related legal contracts ranging from payment service provider contracts to marketing agreements. He is always fast to respond and quickly picks up on potential issues and concerns. Working with Adam is an absolute pleasure and the results have always been more than satisfactory.

Finding a law firm that understands your business needs can be difficult. Finding a law firm that also offers knowledge and experience of internet and online law is all but impossible. In Adlex, we believe we have found the elusive combination. Consequently, whether for established online businesses or start-up internet trading, we have no hesitation in recommending the Adlex service as the one-stop solution for legal representation, guidance and support.
Peter Moth, Managing Director, MLots.com Ltd
For many of our clients, the internet is the only, or an important, part of their businesses. For example, we often help resolve internet related disputes. See domain name disputes and other internet disputes.
We advise our clients on all aspects of internet law. In fact, there is no self-contained internet law or e-commerce law as such. By internet law or e-commerce law, we really mean the whole range of legal issues which can affect businesses trading on the web. (Note: We are solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulations Authority, not merely "legal consultants".)
Online terms and conditions
All websites should have a set of terms and conditions which manage the legal relationship between the website operator and the user of the website and/or those who buy goods or services through the site. We provide these for a fixed fee. See online terms and conditions for more information.
Internet regulations
There are the internet regulations such as the E-Commerce Regulations and the Distance Selling Regulations. Amongst other things, these internet laws require that internet businesses provide certain information to users and allow consumers with a legal "cooling off" period. See internet regulation for more information.
Internet privacy
Another e-commerce legal area concerns compliance with data protection requirements governing the collection and use of personal data via websites. These include the need for appropriate web privacy policies and data protection consent wording, especially if you intend to send marketing emails to customers. This is a constantly developing area of internet law. See internet privacy for more information.
White label contracts
For many of our e-commerce clients, partnering with other internet businesses in white label or "co-branding" contracts is a critical part of their business model. See white label contracts for more information.
Internet advertising contracts
We often advise on the legal side of internet advertising, for example advertising representation agreements and insertion orders, and on web payment provider (PSP) contracts.
Website developer contract and website hosting contracts
Web law can include the legal aspects of creation and maintenance of the company's website, especially contracts for the design, development and maintenance of the site as well as hosting or co-location arrangements. See website developer contract and website hosting contracts for more information.
