Law on the Web's site is primarily aimed at individuals, but there's plenty of information for businesses too. If you need to tackle EU legal issues to run your business, then Europa is the place to start. It's a comprehensive site for all things legal. Delia Venables, a computer consultant for lawyers, has scoured the Internet to gather useful links to legal resources and organised them into logical groups. Articles include those written by law firms, white papers, news round-ups and information organised by topic, arbitration and mediation.
Solicitors also offer free initial advice by email.
You can consult all legislation currently in force or under discussion and follow links to each EU institution. There's also a news section. Many of the resources listed require some effort to wade through, but it's an excellent place to begin. As well as free information, it also provides documents that you can order and download. An issue close to the heart of e-businesses is compliance with personal information laws.
