After 20 years, Amazon`s legal landscape is changing almost daily. Landmark decision on product liability puts Amazon`s third-party marketplace in a new legal dilemma The opportunity is that highly skilled, and experienced customer-centric suppliers — large organizations, stores, networks, strategic partnerships, or individuals — will expand their reach to a wider audience than ever before. A legal marketplace will expand the use of data as a basis for assessing skills, outcomes, and customer experience. It will replace the fixing of the family tree of the law and replace it with more meaningful measures. The market will reward differentiated resources and expose contenders in ways the legal industry has never seen before.

In just 20 years, Amazon has revolutionized the global retail market. The e-commerce giant is today the undisputed leader in the online sale of physical products. However, perhaps due to its unprecedented and meteoric growth, many fundamental legal questions about the Amazon platform remain answered. For example, Amazon sometimes characterizes itself as a neutral “marketplace” to minimize regulatory compliance and product liability. At other times, Amazon acts as a seller and restricts third-party access to customer data. The legal press focuses on the corporate legal sector, because that`s where the big money is. There is also a huge and untapped opportunity to expand the law`s reach and address the shameful crisis of access to justice. Amazon`s entry could quickly bring millions of new buyers of legal services to market by providing a competitive, accessible, transparent, and data-rich environment.

You might better understand when and at what (competitive) price a licensed lawyer is needed and when other options might suffice. Not all “legal” problems require a lawyer. A platform offering this wide range of information and choice – combined with data-driven profiles and consumer ratings – would create a more accessible, transparent, cost-effective, competitive and user-friendly legal marketplace.
