Digital Platforms, Intermediary Liability & Cyberlaw

Guiding technology companies and platforms through the legal frameworks that govern the digital ecosystem.

Overview

Digital platforms operate at the center of global communication, commerce, creativity, and data flows. Their responsibilities — and liabilities — are evolving rapidly across jurisdictions. From copyright enforcement and content moderation to online safety, data governance, and algorithmic accountability, platforms face increasing scrutiny from regulators and rights holders alike.

Our firm advises technology companies, online intermediaries, startups, creative platforms, and public institutions on the legal and regulatory regimes that shape digital operations in Latin America, the United States, and Europe. We help clients comply with complex frameworks while enabling innovation, user rights, and sustainable growth.
