- Internet & E-Commerce Liability We work with established and start-up companies to evaluate risks related to their e-commerce and internet-related activities.

The attorneys at Kaufman Dolowich recognize that developing comprehensive policies and procedures is one of the most effective ways to help companies avoid problems related to information security matters. Our attorneys work closely with our clients’ IT staffs to evaluate and update their information security policies to ensure they are taking the appropriate measures to protect against potential liability exposure.
- Personnel Policies, Employment Agreements and Restrictive Covenants Conflicts between employers and employees can seriously disrupt the work environment.
