Is It Illegal?
Who Cares?


About this Workshop

Uber, AirBnB, Lyft, Wimdu… With Uber’s valuation four times (4x) bigger than Hertz, twice (2x) the value of Tesla and almost the same as Ford and GM, it seems like the Sharing Economy is taking over the world! At the same time, we see headline after headline about battles between the Ubers and AirBnBs of the world and cities, states, countries and established sharing economy leaders like taxi operators and hotel groups. One key area of contention is whether the sharing economy is legal and even if it isn’t, whether existing laws are or will be enforced. Join us and a distinguished panel of experts from the sharing economy, law and insurance industries as we discuss this revolution in the making and how the sharing economy challenges, and some would say illegally flaunts, the fundamental business, legal and regulatory foundations of modern economies.

Date: Friday, 27 March, 2015
Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Venue: Room B4, Town Centre, 3/F, Tower 2, Admiralty Centre, 18 Harcourt Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong
