Our extensive legal background and our understanding of the impact of new technology on business processes allow us to deliver detailed and up to date legal and regulatory analysis. The task of interpreting legislation and regulations which have an impact on new technology products and services is one of Galexia’s core areas of expertise.

Galexia is particularly adept at performing this task in situations where more than one law or standard applies. We are able to develop compliance cross reference tables matching key administrative tasks and processes against all compliance requirements. We also possess the expertise to use these tables in developing plain language, well structured policy, process and guideline documentation.

Galexia has provided advice in every Australian jurisdiction, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan, the United States and all Member Countries of ASEAN (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam).

Galexia staff and associates continue to publish up-to-date articles on all aspects of electronic commerce law, and we provide online teaching materials for Cyberspace Law and Electronic Commerce Law courses at the University of NSW.
