Abstract

Introduction. The company’s right to professional legal assistance and the procedure for its representation in court is one of the fundamental rights to conduct business.
Problem. The global problems of today, both natural and man-made, and related political and economic transformations require systematic review and constant updating of the right of individuals in general and businesses in particular to professional legal assistance and representation in court.
The aim of the article is a theoretical and applied understanding of the content of the concept of «the right of the enterprise to professional legal assistance and the procedure for its representation in court» and the state and prospects of its legal support in Ukraine.
Methods. The following methods were used during the research: dialectical, hermeneutic, systemic, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, formal-legal, etc.
Results. It is determined that the current legislation of Ukraine does not fully comply with the modern theory of constitutional law and the Constitution of Ukraine on the right of the enterprise to professional legal assistance and the procedure for its representation in court. A partial analysis of the relevant Ukrainian legislation was conducted and some inconsistencies were identified.
Conclusions. The content of the right of a person, including enterprises, to professional legal assistance and the procedure for his representation in court requires some adjustment both at the level of the Constitution and a number of legislative acts of Ukraine. Today in Ukraine there is a certain need for
the adoption of the Law of Ukraine on Legal Service, including at the enterprise.
