Internet and Social Media

Globalisation, social media, and the proliferation of domain name extensions, among other things, have triggered an exponential growth of legal issues arising from e-commerce and web-based businesses. Not only that, it is now essential to nearly every modern business to have a strong and protected presence on the Web. 

BCF’s team guides our clients to ensure that they fully benefit from the opportunities the Web has to offer while avoiding the pitfalls. Our professionals help clients navigate the legal labyrinth stemming from the use of global information networks. Be it to solve matters arising from the usurpation of domain names, from shared content on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or from the use of Google AdWords or Amazon Brand Registry programs, we use our industry knowledge and strategic skills to improve our clients’ Web visibility and protect their digital identity.
