The internet has opened up exciting new ways to communicate and trade with anybody, anywhere, any time. Traditional physical means for processing information and completing business transactions are replaced with their electronic counterparts.

Yet the 'virtual' world must still operate within 'real' legal frameworks. If not, at the very least your online presence will be unprofessional, at worst illegal and therefore potentially subject to a wide range of penalties.

The course provides a comprehensive, jargon-free overview of all the main legal aspects of commissioning, designing, developing and maintaining a website - intranet, extranet or internet. It does not constitute legal advice, but does provide clear guidance on what you should seek and expect from your legally qulified representatives.

It is therefore ideally suited for anyone with responsibilities to brief and act upon advice from their lawyers to ensure their online enterprises are legal and adopting best practices.
