Commercial | Consumer Contracts


There have been many changes to consumer law in recent years, with the rules becoming more numerous and stringent, as well as modernised to reflect the fact that sales to consumers include digital content and services as well as physical products.  Through the emergence of "Big Data" and the widespread collection of personal information through smartphone apps, privacy issues are also coming under increasing scrutiny.

 

Compliance with the current rules is important to ensure that your customer contracts are enforceable, to avoid regulatory investigation and penalties, to build up loyalty and trust in your brand, and to protect your reputation.
