Abstract	Juan Diaz-Granados and Benedict Sheehy offer an examination of the legal foundations, structures and challenges, as well as potential solutions for the legal and regulatory issues posed by the rise of platform-based businesses. With examples drawn from the Sharing Economy, such as Uber and Airbnb, Diaz-Granados and Sheehy demonstrate how law facilitates and constrains the operation of these companies as they deliver convenient goods and services. This title offer insights into how and why these platforms disrupt existing legal norms, economic markets and social practices.
