Technology and E-Commerce Firms

Businesses that stake their futures on cutting edge technologies have the same needs as any other businesses - litigation, liability avoidance counseling, assistance with planning and transactions, tax planning, etc. But they also have completely unique concerns. Some of these are well-understood in the law, such as the protection of intellectual property, issues pertaining to raising capital, methods of dealing with employees and protecting the trade secrets they come to develop or know, etc. Other needs, however, are difficult to foresee, and spring from legislation and case law that change on almost a daily basis relating to the regulation of internet and e-commerce activities, and the struggle of courts and legislatures to deal with evolving technologies.

Powell Trachtman understands how to represent such businesses and combines the wide variety of talents of its attorneys, in understanding the technology and in handling the fundamental needs of all businesses, to provide a complete spectrum of services to meet the needs of such clients.
