Contact our attorneys now


The work of a Rio de Janeiro digital attorney or specialist will be, as in other legal disciplines, to provide advice and legal representation to their private clients or companies when a conflict arises with their rights derived from legal, commercial or personal operations in which they have been used new technologies. In some cases, the conflicts that may arise may be the same as when technology is not used - for example, when making an online purchase, the customer has the right to withdraw and return the product, just as it happens when purchasing it in a physical store. - but new technologies have also created new scenarios in which a specific regulatory response is required.

Some of the most frequent conflicts that a São Paulo digital attorney will face will be:
- Violation of the rights to honor, privacy or image on the internet
- Problems related to the development, commercialization, distribution and use of software
- Intellectual property conflicts on the Internet
- Problems with the domains of the web pages and 'hosting'
- Corporate disputes for the use of brands and unfair competition online
- Commission of computer crimes and risks derived from cybersecurity.

The digital lawyer: a profile with great future projection
Internet and new technologies have transformed our reality, from communication to business. The rules, as a reflection of society, have had to evolve to solve conflicts and protect the rights of citizens in this new scenario. And to guarantee that protection of the rights of citizens and companies, lawyers also have to specialize in new technologies and digital relationships.
New technologies have had a transversal impact on the entire legal system and affect personal, professional and business relationships. Thus, we find specific regulations in the different legal branches, from Criminal Law —with crimes with their own characteristics that previously did not exist, such as online identity theft or cyberbullying—; even Labor Law, with regulations that apply to teleworking conditions or the use of tools such as computers and work telephones; or electronic commerce itself and its impact on commercial regulations on contracts.

What does an expert lawyer in new technologies do?
Digital Law is not a differentiated branch with a specific code such as Criminal or Civil, but rather covers a wide range of issues and is regulated in a transversal way in several legal branches. By affecting citizens, companies, administrations and the different relationships that arise between these parties, the use of new technologies can generate conflicts in various areas such as the right to honor, privacy, self-image, contracting between companies and the sale to the final consumer, or industrial and intellectual property, among others.

The Internet was born more than two decades ago and, since then, it has not stopped evolving, promoting the development of new technologies at the level we know today. The following steps in turn pose new opportunities for both individuals and companies, while being a challenge for legislators, who must ensure that the legal system has an adequate response to conflicts and violations of rights that may arise.

Therefore, in an increasingly digitized environment, the specialization of a lawyer in new technologies is a bet with a future. Our Brazil digital attorney is here to help.
n recent years, digital law attorneys have become increasingly necessary. The Internet has revolutionized all areas of society promoting all kinds of communications through it. All these changes affect any type of relationship, whether personal or business, and which are subject to specific regulation.

Digital Law is broad in nature that covers both data protection and electronic commerce. In addition to domain names, computer crimes and internet contracting, without forgetting the Cybersecurity policies against illicit attacks.
