Rickerbys are one of the leading law firms in Gloucestershire and highly respected in the commercial arena.  Clients range from plc’s and large corporates, small and medium owner managed businesses, schools, colleges, public sector organisations and charities.

Rickerbys IT and E-commerce team was formed in 1998 supporting businesses and web developers in the “early day” and has gone from strength to strength.  It is the only team in Gloucestershire recognised by independent legal directories Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners for its expertise in this area.

What do we do?

Our IT and E-commerce team advises web developers and website owners on the full range of legal issues relating to the internet including:

• Terms and conditions of business.
• Web development agreements.
• Data protection and privacy policies.
• Regulatory issues such as the Distance Selling Regulations.
• Intellectual property issues such as copyright and trademark protection.
• Domain name and other intellectual property disputes.

No business should trade on the internet or have an internet presence without taking legal advice on these issues.  With our wealth of experience and extensive resources built up over many years, we can provide this advice quickly and cost-effectively.
