The development of technology has brought with it the creation of new marketing channels mainly relying on the internet, both in dealing with B2B as well as B2C relations, among others.

This circumstance has generated the updating of the existing regulation to adapt to this new manner of marketing goods and services, but also the creation of new laws that make it possible to operate in the digital market, guaranteeing the respect for the rights of the parties involved and safeguarding the security and confidentiality of the transactions, of the intellectual property of the digital creations, the protection of the digital consumer, the authentication of the parties and the privacy of the persons.

In this context, our firm offers a gamut of services focused on achieving these ends, among which we highlight the following:

  • Advice in the development of E-Commerce projects.
  • Advice during the negotiation, preparation, implementation and execution of IT contracts.
  • Advice for the implementation of digital recruitment platforms.
  • Advice for the implementation of digital signature platforms.
