Description

Year by year, the importance of e-commerce continues to grow. In many countries, it has become the dominant method for both consumers and businesses to purchase and sell goods and services. Cross-border transactions are the norm in this space, with significant implications for both regulation and dispute resolution. How can e-commerce platforms ensure compliance with competing data privacy rules? When disputes arise, how do courts determine jurisdiction and choice of law? To what extent are consumers treated differently from other market participants, and what are their rights? How can manufacturers and content creators protect their intellectual property rights online? This interactive session will explore these and other recurring issues impacting the rapidly evolving world of e-commerce
