The rapid development of the Internet has created new business opportunities together with additional legal risks. Creating or revising a website that has already been launched can create a host of potential legal issues. Different websites offer diverse and widespread content through text, photos, group discussions, user comments and forms of advertising (e.g. text, pop-up and banner ads), and may offer a variety of content such as portals, search engines, auction sites or retail sites. Every website will have unique variables and will raise different legal issues.

At Ellen B. Shankman & Associates, we help ensure that the relevant issues are considered in such areas as copyright, trademark, right of publicity, defamation, privacy and false advertising, and we assist in litigation strategy when problems arise. Our unparalleled experience in Israel with Internet issues and domain strategies allows us to counsel clients on the creation and implementation of domain name strategy. We also advise on regulatory and marketplace changes and we represent clients in domain name disputes.
