Platforms and Internet Governance

Regulation and governance of the internet is a crucial part of the ongoing challenge to find a balance between encouraging innovation, keeping users safe online, and protecting fundamental rights, including privacy and freedom of speech. Our team of experts are here to guide you through this complex and quickly evolving landscape, and help you to manage your risks and seize opportunities.

Overview

We have deep specialist knowledge of internet regulatory issues and valuable, broad experience of working with businesses with large and multifaceted digital footprints. When combined with our pragmatic advice, we can support your company at every stage of growth.

The laws that govern how we work, play, shop and interact online are continually evolving in a fast-paced environment. Online safety, consumer protection, content streaming, influencer advertising, and social media more generally are just a few of the important topics which have attracted increased regulatory attention in recent years.

Our technology and media lawyers can advise on the full spectrum of internet regulations and their implications for your business, and your customers, helping you with compliance as well as maximising your competitive edge.
