comprehensive legal support
Legal services for businesses – law and taxes in e-commerce
The growth of e-commerce offers enormous opportunities, but it also exposes businesses to legal and tax risks. Changing regulations make online sales increasingly difficult without ongoing support.
Our legal and tax services are designed to relieve you of the burden of interpreting regulations and responding to changes. We combine the expertise of e-commerce lawyers and tax advisors, creating a single, cohesive security environment for you.
What does comprehensive e-commerce legal service involve?
Comprehensive legal services mean we look at your business as a whole – from drafting regulations, through supplier and employee contracts, to taxes on international transactions and representation in disputes. We don't limit ourselves to a single document or a one-off opinion.
We analyze the store's operating model, sales channels (own store, marketplaces, B2B and B2C sales), financial flows, personal data, customer relationships, and ownership structure. Based on this, we design solutions that not only address formal requirements but also streamline company processes.
Who is this service for?
In each case, the starting point is understanding your business model. Only then do we select specific legal and tax tools.
Key areas of legal support
We create and review contracts that protect your interests in relationships with suppliers, partners, subcontractors, employees, and B2B associates. We ensure that contracts clearly allocate responsibilities, regulate intellectual property and data, and protect against non-performance or improper performance of obligations.
We design terms and conditions for online stores and information pages to ensure they comply with the Consumer Rights Act, the Civil Code, and EU regulations (including the Omnibus Directive). At the same time, we ensure their transparency for customers, thereby reducing the number of disputes, complaints, and misunderstandings.
We verify whether personal data processing, consents, cookie banners, analytical tools, and marketing activities are compliant with the GDPR, regulations on the provision of electronic services, and the Telecommunications Act. We help legally build mailing lists, run advertising campaigns, collaborate with influencers, and utilize remarketing tools.
We represent businesses in disputes with clients, contractors, and employees, as well as before authorities such as the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK), market surveillance authorities, and the tax administration. We conduct court and administrative proceedings, as well as debt collection activities – from pre-litigation to enforcement. Our goal is to quickly and effectively mitigate losses and secure the company's legal position.
We advise on choosing the appropriate form of business (sole proprietorship, commercial company), registration and transformation, and on the ongoing operation of companies, including resolutions, amendments to the National Court Register, corporate documentation, and relationships between shareholders and board members. We also support succession processes, share sales, and M&A transactions.
We design brand and IP protection strategies: trademark registration (Poland, EU, WIPO), licensing agreements, and terms of use for content, software, and graphic materials. We also assist in pursuing claims for infringement on marketplace platforms and digital channels.
Important: These are just some of the areas we cover on a daily basis. We always tailor the scope of support to your e-commerce business model.
Tax law in e-commerce
Support integrated with civil and corporate law
Tax services are an integral part of our offerings – we don't separate them from other aspects of business operations. We approach taxes through the lens of your sales model, ownership structure, target markets, and channels used.
We support in particular in the areas of:
- we analyze VAT, CIT, and PIT obligations, taking into account domestic and international sales,
- we advise on the application of VAT OSS and IOSS procedures and on the settlement of deliveries of goods and services to other countries,
- we help identify the emergence of tax nexuses (e.g. in the USA) and the related registration obligations,
- We support you in contacts with the tax administration, preparation of documentation and conducting tax proceedings.
The goal is to design an operating model that is legal and, at the same time, fiscally rational.
What risks are eliminated by ongoing legal and tax services?
Instead of just reacting to problems, you are moving to a model in which law and taxes support development rather than blocking it.
Cooperation model – projects and ongoing service
We support entrepreneurs both within individual projects (e.g. legal audit of a store, GDPR implementation, preparation of documentation for a new market) and in the form of ongoing service.
For companies that want to ensure that their documents, contracts, processes, and settlements are kept up to date, our service is available on a subscription basis – including consultations, review of key contracts, support with marketing campaigns, and ongoing tax advice related to online sales.
