E-business & digital exploitation

Our team has the experience and expertise to help clients effectively deal with issues that arise with having an online presence. Whether selling goods and service online, or generating value from their brands, having an online presence exposes companies to specific risks that don't apply offline, something that we understand.
We advise companies in all sectors with their online operations, particularly major retailers on e-trading issues and media companies on digital exploitation.
Companies needing contracts to do business online, and the governing European regulatory framework, come to TLT for advice. We regularly advise on online sales terms and conditions, social media use, privacy policies, domain ownership, web content management, and brand protection, and employment, confidentiality, and defamation issues that arise with online operations.
Clients appreciate that we work side-by-side with them to develop online propositions and sales processes that comply with legal requirements and satisfy regulators, such as the Advertising Standards Authority, Information Commissioner's Office, Trading Standards, and industry-specific bodies. We use our technology, media and telecoms sector expertise to ensure clients understand and mitigate the different legal risks having an online presence creates.
