Trading and offering services on the internet - e-commerce - is now part of modern life as if it had never been
otherwise. In addition to the rules and laws of traditional commerce, which of course also apply here, e-commerce
has also given us completely new legal framework conditions that are difficult for a legal layperson to understand.
When we talk about e-commerce today, we are mainly talking about own websites, online shops and the offerings on
large sales platforms (eBay, Amazon, Alibaba). The advantages of these new sales channels are immense for the
retailer or supplier - a global audience, no costs for salesrooms, inexpensive marketing and much more. The
large number of potential customers quickly creates experience and even the newcomer quickly becomes a sales
professional.
Legal knowledge, on the other hand, is often poor, as people assume that nothing will happen and, after all,
the customer is usually far away. However, not doing your legal homework early on in e-commerce can quickly
lead to a rude and expensive awakening for many. With an experienced e-commerce lawyer, you can put your
digital business on a secure footing - for long-term commercial success.
Are you planning your first steps in e-commerce or do you want to put your existing online shop on a legally secure footing? Then I can help you quickly and professionally as an experienced lawyer in Munich. Today, e-commerce and the Internet make it easy for anyone to offer goods and services worldwide, but without legal advice there is always the risk of an abrupt end. As an experienced lawyer in e-commerce law in Munich, I help commercial clients with the creation of legally compliant websites, online shops, sales portals and online trading in general.
Contact us for legal advice/initial consultation - in person, phone, video call.
In addition to the normal aspects of trade and competition law, the focus in e-commerce is primarily on legally compliant sites and offers on the Internet. After all, this is the part of your company that is visible to everyone. The list of regulations and laws to be taken into account is long - the right of cancellation and right of return, protection of minors, data protection, price information regulations, the Telemedia Act and unfair competition are just some of the areas that must be implemented in a legally compliant manner. Violations of legal obligations can not only result in official penalties or civil lawsuits, but also the threat of costly warnings from competitors and rivals.
The specific requirements that apply to your e-commerce activities are still very individual today, but certain basic rules apply to everyone. You should no longer operate commercially on the Internet without suitable general terms and conditions and the form in which these are offered is also important. The same applies, of course, to information on liability and the topics of cancellation and returns. If you want to address international customers with your online shop or website, these topics become even more important, but also even more extensive.
The tightening of the topic of data protection due to the new GDPR has presented online retailers with completely new challenges since 2018. Shortcomings in data protection can quickly result in costly penalties and warnings. However, this area of e-commerce should not be dealt with without a lawyer.
Expertise is not about holding titles - it is about constant, professionally correct, practical work over many years.
Every case is different - as a lawyer, every case requires its own individual approach in order to do justice to the subject matter and the client.
Legal standards alone do not solve cases - efficient communication between lawyer and client, but also with the opposing party, ensures real results.
Serving various areas of law with specialised lawyers to represent personal and economic interests.
We stand for personal advice, constant availability and professional expertise in e-commerce law in Munich.
