E-commerce involves any business that primarily recruits customers from the internet. That means that it’s likely that, even if your business is not considered an “e-Commerce” business it may still need to comply with “e-Commerce” regulations. SLG helps ensure that your company is safe from liability emerging from product matters, contract disputes, and regulatory violations.
Why Choose Structure Law Group?SLG has been operating in Silicon Valley since the mid-’90s -- the beginning of the “dot com boom”. During that period, regulations had to be rewritten to accommodate the changing economic landscape.

Each year, with the evolution of smart phones and the proliferation of connected devices, the revolution that began in the mid-’90s reaches a new zenith.
SLG attorneys are uniquely situated to help your company handle all matters related to e-Commerce having been there from the very beginning. We will help your company anticipate any legal hurdles and comply with existing regulations to avoid liability matters that may arise.

If your business is even partly e‐commerce-based, then online advertising rules affect all of your advertisements, including ads on print, digital media, or online, as well as sales and marketing efforts you may employ such as robo calls, text messages, emails, newsletters, and any other kind of advertising your company pursues.
FTC Regulation Counsel for Portl and BusinessesMost advertising matters are controlled by the FTC, but states have the power to pass their own laws as well.

The FTC takes the privacy of children quite seriously. Companies can be fined for minor violations based on honest mistakes, even if it is the company’s first violation. COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act) is especially harsh. Navigating these regulations is made much easier with the help of an attorney who understands what the FTC requires. This helps your company avoid hefty fines and reputational damage caused by honest mistakes.
Technology Liability, Security, and Privacy Issues for Portland BusinessesSecurity breaches are becoming a major area of concern for online businesses. However, terms of service policies, privacy policies, and more can help protect your business from damaging liability emerging from security leaks. Policies that protect user data need to be reviewed on occasion to ensure your company’s compliance with changing regulations.
When lawsuits involving security breaches do emerge, plaintiffs must be able to demonstrate that some form of negligence occurred. Companies that take reasonable steps to secure their customers’ data face less liability than those who completely neglected to implement industry standards for protecting data. The Portland corporate attorneys at SLG can help your company take preventative steps to avoid lawsuits emerging from security breaches.
