Electronic Commerce

Although the Internet has not replaced the bricks and mortar shopping and business experience (yet), it is rapidly growing as an important business platform for a large number of new and established business to business companies and retail players. However, it can be a minefield of new legal and other issues, but one that can be managed with the proper foresight and support. We provide our clients with creative, practical advice on how to structure their online operations while taking into account the different legislative requirements throughout Canada and new legal structures, policies and contracts required for unique business models

Trade Mark and Copyright – We are trademark agents, and as such we advise clients on the selection, protection and enforcement of company names, brand names, slogans and trade marks for Canada, the U.S. and other markets, including registration and licensing.

We provide guidance on how to adapt online sales activities to meet the evolving legal framework for doing business online.
