Online platform law:
Master your role as orchestrator.
Do you connect offers and requests? Your legal status is your shield. Between the risk of requalification into a contract of employment and the liability on content (LCEN), the border is fine. Secure your model with a competitive lawyer and algorithms.

"A platform is not just a website. It is a two-sided market whose rules (CGU) must respect competition law. My publication on 'Abusing Dominant Position' [1] bears witness to my vigilance over these structural risks."
