Our Internet & E-Commerce Law Services – Detailed Overview
Social Media Laws
Social media platforms in Pakistan are regulated under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) and the Removal and Blocking of Unlawful Online Content Rules. We advise influencers, brands, and companies on compliance with these rules, including defamation risks, content moderation policies, and handling of user data. We also represent clients in cases involving social media harassment, fake accounts, and removal of unlawful content. Our goal is to help you leverage social media while minimizing legal exposure.
Domain Name Disputes
Domain name squatting, cybersquatting, and trademark infringement in domain names can harm your brand. We handle dispute resolution under PKNIC (for .pk domains) and ICANN’s Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). Our team works to recover infringing domains, defend against wrongful complaints, and secure your online identity. We also assist in domain name portfolio management and trademark clearance for new domain registrations.
DMCA Copyright
While the DMCA is a US law, its principles influence global content protection. We help Pakistani content creators and platforms comply with DMCA takedown notices, counter‑notices, and safe harbor provisions when dealing with US‑based hosts. For local infringement, we adapt similar strategies under Pakistani copyright law. We also advise on digital rights management and work with international partners to remove stolen content from websites and social media.
Electronic Agreements
E‑commerce relies on enforceable electronic contracts. We draft and review website terms of service, end‑user license agreements (EULAs), privacy policies, and clickwrap agreements that comply with the Electronic Transactions Ordinance 2002. We ensure that your agreements are legally binding, include proper dispute resolution clauses, and address issues like jurisdiction, limitation of liability, and user consent. We also advise on the validity of electronic signatures in Pakistan.
Amazon Brand Registry
Protecting your brand on Amazon is essential to prevent hijackers and counterfeiters. We assist Pakistani sellers in enrolling in Amazon Brand Registry, which requires a registered trademark. We handle trademark applications (in Pakistan or USPTO), prepare the necessary documentation, and guide you through the verification process. Once enrolled, we help you use Brand Registry tools to report violations and manage your product listings effectively.
Amazon Seller Lawyer
Amazon sellers face unique legal challenges: account suspensions, intellectual property complaints, patent infringement claims, and product liability issues. We represent sellers in appeals to reinstate accounts, draft response plans, and negotiate with rights owners. We also help sellers understand Amazon’s terms of service and avoid policy violations. Whether you are a new seller or an established brand, we provide ongoing legal support to keep your Amazon business compliant and profitable.
Online Brand Protection
Counterfeiters, impersonators, and unauthorized sellers can dilute your brand online. We monitor major e‑commerce platforms and social media for trademark misuse, file takedown notices, and pursue legal action against infringers. Our services include trademark watching, cease‑and‑desist letters, and coordination with platform legal teams. We also advise on anti‑counterfeiting strategies and work with customs authorities to block counterfeit imports.
Internet & E-Commerce
This umbrella practice covers all legal aspects of running an online business: from formation and contracts to regulatory compliance and dispute resolution. We advise on consumer protection laws (including the Consumer Protection (E‑Commerce) Rules 2020), distance selling regulations, payment gateway agreements, and tax compliance for e‑commerce. We also help resolve disputes with customers, suppliers, or platforms through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Internet Defamation
False and damaging statements online can ruin reputations. We represent victims of defamation on social media, review sites, and forums. We work to identify anonymous posters, send takedown notices, and file defamation suits under Pakistani law (including criminal defamation under PECA). We also advise on reputation management and can obtain injunctions to remove defamatory content swiftly.
Internet Piracy or Counterfeit
Digital piracy and counterfeit goods cost businesses billions. We help copyright owners and brand holders combat online piracy through DMCA notices, cease‑and‑desist letters, and cooperation with hosting providers. For physical counterfeits sold online, we work with investigators and law enforcement to shut down counterfeit operations. We also advise on technological protection measures and anti‑piracy strategies tailored to your industry.
Cyber Crimes
Cyber crimes such as hacking, identity theft, phishing, and ransomware attacks are on the rise. We assist victims in reporting crimes to the FIA Cyber Crime Wing, preserving digital evidence, and pursuing legal action against perpetrators. We also advise companies on preventive measures, incident response plans, and compliance with mandatory breach reporting requirements. For individuals accused of cyber crimes, we provide robust defense representation.
Online Financial Fraud
Online payment fraud, including credit card scams, phishing, and advance‑fee fraud, can cause significant losses. We help victims of financial fraud recover funds (where possible) and work with banks, payment processors, and law enforcement. We also advise e‑commerce businesses on fraud prevention measures, secure payment integration, and compliance with PCI DSS standards. Our legal team can draft fraud‑related terms and policies to limit liability.
Comprehensive Internet & E-Commerce Law Practice
Our internet and e‑commerce practice covers all legal issues arising from online business activities. We assist with website compliance, data privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and terms of sale. We also represent clients in disputes with e‑commerce platforms, payment gateways, and logistics providers. Whether you are launching a new online store, expanding to international markets, or facing a regulatory inquiry, we provide the legal support you need to thrive in the digital economy.
