In less than a decade an array of high tech companies in the San Francisco Bay Area has revolutionized the way we vacation, commute, buy goods, or contract for services. These companies, utilizing cutting-edge new technologies to develop platforms that bring consumers and workers together to exchange services or products, has dramatically changed our lives. However, with this innovation revolution has also come vexing legal issues that have left lawyers, judges, and businesses grappling with applying longstanding legal principles to fast-developing technologies.
