עו"ד גיא אופיר - עורך דין אינטרנט

Our office provides legal advice and representation in cases dealing with internet law, including internet copyrights, internet privacy protection, internet defamation, and more. We also deal extensively with media claims against Israeli and international Internet corporations (claims against Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.).

Internet Lawyer

Internet and mobile networks gained tremendous momentum in the last decade; today, they have become an integral part of our lives. Despite the accelerated progress of the network, legal issues that arose on the Internet have not yet received orderly legislation. Therefore, Internet cases are usually determined based on prior rulings (in Israel and internationally), and it seems that the term “each case on its own” is appropriate in this field.

Internet crimes require an Internet lawyer with specialization in the relevant legal branch and its derived meanings in the online space. Our firm’s expertise is reflected in the experience and creative legal interpretation of complex cases (both large and small). Also, engaging in such a diverse field requires thinking outside the box and using unconventional “tools of war” both in and out of court.

For example, in one of the cases against Google, the automatic completion mechanism completed the word “fraudster” in our client’s name. To counter Google’s claim that this reflects the concept of “wisdom of the crowd,” we manipulated the automatic completion mechanism so that when you entered the name of the judge in Google, the completion was: “She got chocolate milk,” and when you entered the name of the lawyer who represented Google, the completion was: “Loves hot dogs.”
