Why regular website legal audits are essential for your business
Your website makes legal statements constantly, and it is the easiest thing about your business for anyone to check. Required company information, terms of use, a privacy notice that should match what you actually do, a cookie banner that should match the rules rather than habit, and claims about your products that need to be substantiated.
Most sites were assembled from borrowed documents at launch and never revisited, and regulators, customers and buyers all look there first.
A website audit checks what your site says and displays against what the law requires.
It covers:
- company information you are required to display;
- terms of use, and sales terms if you sell online;
- the privacy notice, tested against your real data practices;
- cookies, the banner and any tracking or analytics;
- marketing claims, testimonials and pricing statements; and
- consumer requirements, including cancellation rights, where you sell to the public.
You get a short, prioritised report detailing what is wrong, what it risks and exactly what to change, with the fixes available as a follow-on piece of work if you would rather they were done for you. For the terms themselves, see Website Terms of Use.
Our Approach
Legal advice that makes running and growing your business easier.
We start with your business, not the law.
Before we open a document, we want to understand what you are trying to do commercially. The legal answer is only useful if it serves that.
We get to the point.
You get a clear view of what matters and what does not, in plain English, with the real risks separated from the noise.
We give you an answer.
Not a menu of options and a shrug. We tell you what we would do, why, and where there is a genuine judgment call for you to make.
We stay available.
Whether you work with us on a single project or on a subscription, we are here for the follow-up question. We would always rather you asked.
