Merchant & Gould recognizes the commercial power of the Internet. The Internet has become a valuable and necessary tool for businesses of all sizes. The commercial power of the Internet has led to an explosion of usage, and accordingly, an explosion of new legal issues. These new legal issues lead to new laws and first-of-a-kind litigation. Merchant & Gould attorneys stay at the forefront of the law by frequently speaking and writing on Internet-related topics. For example, Merchant & Gould attorneys have co-written A Legal Guide to the Internet (Adobe Acrobat PDF - 596K) with the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development. Merchant & Gould updates this guide several times a year to keep pace with the current law. With this expertise, we understand how the new laws and Internet technology affect businesses, and we work with clients to harness the full power of the Internet.
