US legal advice for e-commerce businesses

US e-commerce

Anyone setting up a Shopify, D2C or other online shop for US customers cannot simply adopt European e-commerce rules in English. Contract formation, dispatch, returns, advertising, reviews, recurring payments and data protection may be subject to federal and state requirements.

We review online shops prior to their US launch or whilst their US business is already up and running. Matthias Schuhmacher and Raphael Tautz coordinate German-language support and the case-by-case involvement of the appropriate US legal expertise.

Carry out a detailed check on the US online shop

Please tell us about your e-commerce platform, products, target customers and US sales model. We will then determine which areas require a focused legal review.
