GVZH Advocates offers comprehensive website takedown services to protect the digital rights, intellectual property, and reputational interests of businesses, creatives, and public figures. Based in Malta and serving a global client base, we work with hosting providers, ISPs, and platform operators to secure removals and pursue enforcement through legal and regulatory channels.
Our Website Takedown Services
Unlawful Content Removal
We issue formal takedown notices to websites and platforms hosting illegal content, including defamatory material, hate speech, data breaches, and unlicensed media—ensuring fast and lawful removal based on Maltese and EU law.
Intellectual Property (IP) Infringement
We act swiftly against unauthorised use of trademarks, copyrighted material, logos, and product listings. Whether the infringement appears on an eCommerce site, blog, or social media, we coordinate with hosts and enforcement authorities to secure prompt removal.
Brand & Reputation Protection
We offer online brand monitoring and enforcement strategies, including takedowns of fake websites, impersonation profiles, and rogue resellers that misuse your name, domain, or identity.
Domain Name Disputes & Cybersquatting
We represent clients in disputes over malicious domain registrations and cybersquatting, including proceedings under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) and equivalent frameworks.
Marketplace & Platform Takedowns
We facilitate removals from major platforms (e.g. Amazon, Facebook, YouTube, Shopify, Etsy) and coordinate with their legal teams or abuse channels to address policy violations and recover control over digital content.
Regulatory Support & Escalation
When voluntary removal fails, we escalate through court injunctions, regulatory complaints, or cross-border enforcement channels—including the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) mechanisms for illegal content removal.
Strategic Guidance & Risk Prevention
We help clients develop proactive frameworks for online IP protection and reputational risk mitigation, including content monitoring strategies and template legal notices.
