ecommerce lawyers

The ecommerce sector is fast-moving, highly competitive, and increasingly regulated. At Rubric Law, our ecommerce lawyers provide clear, responsive legal advice to help digital businesses grow, protect their assets, and successfully manage risk. Whether you are launching a new platform, scaling internationally, or selling your online business, we work as a proactive legal partner to support your commercial goals.

We have significant experience in ecommerce M&A transactions, acting for both buyers and sellers of online businesses, DTC brands, and digital marketplaces. These deals often involve complex structuring, cross-border elements, software assets, IP transfers, and data protection risks. Our team handles all legal aspects of the transaction, including due diligence, drafting of the sale agreement, and post-completion matters. For high-value and multi-brand deals, we bring the experience and coordination required to complete efficiently and securely.

Beyond M&A, our team supports clients with a wide range of ecommerce law matters. We regularly draft and review terms and conditions, privacy policies, and supply chain agreements tailored to the specific risks and needs of ecommerce operations. Whether you’re dealing with international logistics, third-party platforms, or customer disputes, we help ensure compliance with UK consumer law and international trading standards.

We also assist clients with intellectual property protection, from trade mark registration to licensing arrangements and brand enforcement. Where platforms or competitors infringe on your rights, we advise on fast, effective remedies. For businesses taking on investment or planning for exit, we advise on shareholder agreements, cap tables, and corporate structuring.

As a full-service law firm, Rubric offers integrated support across corporate, commercial, employment, and property law, meaning we can advise on all aspects of your digital business. This becomes especially valuable during mergers and acquisitions, where our joined-up approach ensures that IP, data, contracts, staff, and tech infrastructure are all properly accounted for.

Whether you are building, scaling, investing in, or selling an ecommerce business, our ecommerce lawyers deliver the expertise, clarity, and strategic input you need to stay ahead of the competition and achieve your goals.
