      abstract = {The consolidation of online legal platforms as intermediaries between consumers and legal professionals raises complex normative challenges involving professional regulation, civil liability, regulatory compliance, and consumer protection. This article critically analyzes the legal nature of such platforms, their regulatory obligations, and applicable liability regimes in light of recent scholarship on digital platform governance. Drawing from comparative studies on platform power, self-regulation, co-regulation, and mitigated liability for third-party content, the paper examines the tension between technological innovation, private autonomy, and fundamental rights protection. It argues that online legal platforms operate within a hybrid zone between technological intermediation and indirect legal service provision, thus requiring combined regulatory models integrating professional oversight, due diligence duties, algorithmic transparency, and effective consumer protection mechanisms. The study concludes that adequate protection depends on regulatory frameworks that move beyond isolated self-regulation toward proportional responsibility and institutional supervision consistent with the power exercised by these platforms.},
