OUT-LAW.COM: IT and e-commerce legal advice and support

OUT-LAW has 8,000 pages of free legal news and guidance, mostly on IT and e-commerce issues.

It also has more of a breezy, British attitude toward blogging. Pinsent Masons even has a link for “Fun“.

Here’s the firm’s description of their site:

“OUT-LAW.COM is not just another law firm web site. It explains IT, e-commerce, privacy, software, tax, employment and other issues that businesses need to know about and it’s updated every day. It’s not just an advert for the firm behind it. Instead, the site explains what you need to know in terms that you can understand and it gives supporting legal documents for free where most others would charge.”
