As a corporate lawyer, I have dealt with international transactions, complex litigation and arbitration, regulatory compliance, and multijurisdictional tax planning. In March 2021, I started my firm and shifted my professional focus to working with start-ups, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and families. I help my clients structure and run their businesses and take care of their assets, including intellectual property issues and estate planning for their families. I try to bring big law quality and small firm personal attention to every client.

I have been in practice for over 19 years. I have substantial experience across the spectrum of civil practice areas both as a litigator and transactional counsel. This includes: negotiating commercial and real estate transactions, corporate organization, commercial agreements, and resolving commercial disputes, and litigating numerous civil, administrative, and criminal cases through all phases of litigation from trial through appeal, as well as judgment enforcement. My vast experience as a litigator is an asset to my transactional clients. My background in Investigating and proving the breakdown of business relationships in court allows me a unique advantage in drafting, negotiating, and closing business transactions.

E-Commerce Legal Questions and Answers

Data Breach Policy

Texas

Asked on Nov 18, 2024

What legal steps should I take in response to a data breach?

I work for a small e-commerce company that recently experienced a data breach, resulting in the potential exposure of customer information, including names, addresses, and payment details. We have already taken immediate actions to contain the breach, notify affected customers, and engage with a cybersecurity firm to investigate the incident and improve our security measures. However, I am now looking for legal guidance on what steps we should take to comply with applicable data breach laws, mitigate any potential legal consequences, and protect our company's interests going forward.

Jennifer B.

Answered Nov 19, 2024

It sounds as though you have already taken the immediate actions mandated under Texas law. If you have customers in other states, you must adhere to the notification laws of each relevant state. This may involve notifying state attorneys general, credit reporting agencies, and affected individuals within specified time frames. To minimize potential legal repercussions, your company should diligently document all actions taken in response to the breach, including the steps taken to contain the breach, the notifications sent, and the measures implemented to prevent future incidents. Engaging with a cybersecurity firm, as you’ve done, is a commendable step towards demonstrating your dedication to data security and compliance with legal obligations.

 To safeguard your company’s interests in the future, conduct a comprehensive review of your data security policies and practices. Implementing additional security measures, such as training employees on data protection and regularly updating your security protocols, can help prevent future breaches and reduce liability. Consulting with legal counsel specializing in data privacy and security can provide tailored advice and ensure ongoing compliance with evolving data breach laws.

Compliance Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 30, 2024

Can I be held liable for a fraudulent eCommerce transaction on my website?

I recently started an eCommerce business where I sell various products online. However, I recently had a customer who claimed that their credit card was fraudulently used on my website to make a purchase. While I have implemented security measures, I am concerned about the potential liability I may face if this customer decides to take legal action against me. I want to understand my legal responsibilities and potential liabilities in such a situation.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 2, 2024

As an eCommerce business in the US, you must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). These standards outline best practices for securely processing and storing credit card information. Non-compliance can increase liability. In New York, the Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act requires businesses to implement reasonable safeguards to protect private information, including credit card data. Even small businesses must comply, although they are subject to less stringent standards. Internationally, there could be other laws: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law that regulates how companies and individuals handle personal data. An attorney can review your processes to identify and mitigate legal risks.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
