Market:Observatory/Clauses-and-Contracts: Difference between revisions

Add free online legal services and legal-regulatory watch, recycled from Portal:Open Observatories; reference the Legal Watch Guide
 
Line 3: Line 3:
The '''Clauses & Contracts observatory''' is intended to watch contract clauses and contract models: how clauses evolve, mature and get endorsed, across jurisdictions and platforms, following the logic of one observatory per subject. It would work hand in hand with the [[Market:Home#toolbox|Toolbox]] (clause bases, endorsed contract models, legal references).

== Free online legal services ==
The observatory is intended to keep a watch on free online legal services, as sources for clause research and as reference points for users:
 
* government legal databases (fedlex.admin.ch, legifrance.gouv.fr, and their equivalents in other countries);
* open legal education platforms;
* pro bono legal networks;
* AI-assisted legal advice platforms.
 
<span id="regulatory-watch"></span>
== Legal and regulatory watch ==
The observatory is also intended to track the regulations that shape contract clauses and digital marketplaces:
 
* FINMA and Swiss financial regulations;
* the EU AI Act (adopted June 2024);
* data protection rules (FADP, GDPR);
* consumer protection in digital marketplaces.
 
A semi-automated legal watch workflow (AI-assisted monitoring with human review) is proposed in the [[Gov/en/Portal:Legal/Legal-Watch-Guide|Legal Watch Guide]], which remains the reference page for the method; this observatory would apply it rather than duplicate it.
