Monica McIntyre of Greenwich, United Kingdom asks:

My partner has a travel company (tour operator) which sells Latin American packages targeted to the Italian and German markets. We are joining in opening a new internet company with an e-commerce platform as a distribution channel for the same products to be sold to the US and UK online market. I need to hire a lawyer who could advice me on some e-commerce and travel licensing issues: 1. E-Business Legal requirements for a foreign company (Panama based) to sell online TRAVEL products to the US and UK markets. (e-commerce regulatory environment for our services in US and UK). 2. e-business tax: what are the tax implications of selling to US and UK online market if based abroad. How is this monitored?

John Gardner asks:

I am evaluating an e-commerce business (selling e-books that I will generate on specialist topics) which I may base in the Canary Islands. I want a set of terms and conditions available in each of the languages, that are relevant to the legal obligations to each country, or all sales could be governed by Spanish law (?). I understand that this is something you can supply. Please advise.
