As empresas digitais no cenário jurídico brasileiro: regulamentação específica.

Abstract

The digital company stands out as the new branch of the activity, which aims to satisfy the new needs of human being in the digital era. Thus, digital business activity could not exist without the internet. This is a new reality in our society. In fact, this paper aims to find out how the Brazilian legislation contemplates the performance of the digital company. However, due to the topicality of the theme, our research was exploratory and the hypothetical-deductive method was used to achieve the results. Thus, after going through the legal system, the results obtained indicate that in the legal system of Brazil, business law and digital law do not regulate the performance of digital companies. General provisions within business law could be apply to the digital firm, but many facts, acts and specific legal relationships of digital firms need attention of their own. Otherwise, digital law do not bring the desired answers about the performance of the digital company, it is more focused on consumer relations. However, because of the characteristics of the digital company and the extension of the internet, we understood that the regulation of the digital company should be made at the international level, based on soft law, due to the dynamicity that surrounds both, the trade and the technological advance.
