Internet and technology lawyers in Sydney
This is a starting point, not a shortlist. It sets out what internet and technology lawyers are usually asked to do, what is worth having ready before you call anyone, and where the official information sits.
What this area of work covers
- Privacy and data breaches, including what has to be notified.
- Defamatory or harmful material published online.
- Image-based abuse, cyberbullying and serious online abuse.
- Online scams and disputed transactions.
- Website, app and software agreements.

Before you contact anyone
- Write down what happened, in order, with dates. A short timeline can help explain your enquiry.
- Gather the documents you already have — letters, notices, contracts, messages — rather than describing them from memory.
- If a letter or notice you have received states a date you must do something by, keep it where you can see it and mention it when you make contact.
- Use the Law Society of NSW register to check a solicitor’s practising details. Contact the Law Society if you need help confirming them.
- Ask for costs in writing before any work starts, and ask what the estimate does and does not include.
