What is an internet attorney?
An internet attorney is a lawyer who has focused their legal practice on matters of internet law. Usually internet attorneys will, in addition to their internet focus, know a good deal about both business and regulatory law and how they interact and relate to internet law.
Why do you and your business need to know an internet attorney?
Internet attorneys can do a lot to help protect businesses with a strong internet presence and allow their owners to focus their energy on the business of growing and expanding their business. Firstly, an internet attorney will be able to help an internet business owner by conducting a legal review of their website. Website reviews assure business owners that their websites and the information content on them are safe and protected from a legal standing and allow owners to focus their energy where they should, into growing their companies, rather than worrying about the content of their websites.
Another major thing to keep in mind is that a web lawyer can help website owners make up for their lack of certain necessary internet policies. For instance, a businesses’ lack of a privacy policy might lead to potential clients going with a competitor instead of your business, out of fear or concerns about how your business will handle their personal date, fears that could easily be done away with via a posted privacy policy. Your internet attorney can help you craft any internet policies or other documents you might need and in the process help you to erect a shield of legal protections around your business. To illustrate, should your website ever be hacked and data stolen, and should any of the data of your clients or business partners be misused, you might potentially be liable for their damages if you did not have disclaimer protections for your business in the policies or terms posted on your website, but with such disclaimers you would have a degree of legal protection.
