Our Practice Areas

Overview

As technology continues to advance, the importance of cyber law has become increasingly significant for businesses and individuals alike. Cyber law, also known as the Law of the Internet, is a broad field that deals with legal issues related to the Internet and cyberspace. It is designed to protect people, businesses, and organizations on the Internet from malicious actions, such as cyber-attacks, and to maintain order.

The primary purpose of cyber law is to provide legal protections in the digital world. Thus, we provide legal advice and support on a variety of cyber law issues, from drafting and reviewing contracts related to online transactions to advising on data protection compliance and cybercrime investigations.  Failure to comply with cyber laws can lead to significant legal and financial consequences, making it essential to seek the advice of experienced cyber law professionals. The Internet has become a breeding ground for economic crimes, such as fraud, illegal bank account penetration, and email penetration that leads to bank transfer redirection. At our law firm, we have the experience and expertise to help you deal with these crimes effectively. Overall, it is critical to ensure that businesses and individuals are aware of the laws and regulations that apply to their online activities.

Information Technology is an area in which our office is very active. We offer a report of technical expertise on a case-by-case basis to prove the manner of performance, a lawsuit before the competent prosecutorial authorities, a lawsuit for defamation of character, moral damage, and possibly tortious liability before the competent Greek courts if the identity of the perpetrator is established, and reputation management services. We advise our clients on contractual and tax issues of licensing, know-how, outsourcing, software and maintenance agreements. We draft and negotiate hardware and software sale, installation and service agreements. We also have conducted due diligence exercises of IT agreements on numerous occasions.  With respect to the Internet and its applications, we advise clients on all contractual and regulatory issues.

We deliver legal advice in all areas of the information technology industry. The IT and e-commerce markets require a broad industry knowledge and the ability to follow the hyper-speed pace of the evolution of the industry.

As regards financial institutions and commercial companies we provide advice in connection with all legal issues related to e-commerce and the commercialisation of products and services through the Internet.

• Electronic signatures

• On-line contracting
