Marval Legal Pulse - Labor modernization: the new regime for platform workers

In this edition of Marval Legal Pulse, we explore one of the most innovative changes introduced by Argentina’s labor modernization reform: the creation of a specific regulatory framework for platform workers.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the impact of this regulation on an activity that has experienced significant growth in recent years and that, until now, lacked a clear legal framework, creating uncertainty for both companies and service providers.
 

Key aspects include:

• The recognition of the independent nature of platform service providers.
• The introduction of a legal framework that brings greater predictability to a previously unregulated activity.
• The definition of rights and obligations for both parties, including flexibility in how services are provided.
• The incorporation of protection mechanisms, such as mandatory insurance, without altering the legal nature of the relationship.
   

The episode also examines the practical implications of this new regime in terms of reducing legal contingencies, fostering employment and adapting to new forms of work organization.

This episode features Enrique Stile, partner in the Labor & Employment practice, and Rodrigo Mora Pereira, associate at Marval, who share their insights on the challenges and opportunities arising from this new regulatory framework.
