The In-House Lawyer

Digital Commerce – legal issues update 

DATE: 7 December 2011

LOCATION: Kemp Little LLP, Cheapside House, 138 Cheapside, London EC2V 6BJ

The Internet, if not exactly the tidal wave predicted by Bill Gates in 1995, is now at least a digital river in full spate. In the UK, ONS figures published for spring 2011 show internet retail sales nudging 10% of the UK retail total and growing by 13% year on year.  In the same period the IAB and PwC also recorded annual growth in UK internet advertising of 13% with total  online ad spend breaching £4bn and advertisers spending £1 in every £4 on the internet.

As digital commerce powers ahead, Commercial Technology Practice Head Calum Murray will focus in this session on where the policy debate on e-commerce has reached following the EU Commission consultation of October 2010; and the legal developments that are emerging in areas like social technologies, m- and e- payments and what they mean for ISPs, digital commerce platforms, e-tailers and the online arms of established suppliers.
