The use of legal corporate entities as an innovative form of practicing the professions of advocates and attorneys at law
The current Polish legal framework imposes restrictions on the choice of forms of professional practice for advocates and attorneys at law. This article examines the rationale behind the prohibition of advocates and attorneys at law establishing companies, assessing its proportionality, necessity, and compliance with the law. The author argues that allowing these two professions to set up companies could enhance growth and competitiveness, in view of the growing competition from unregulated legal consultancies and foreign corporate law firms. The article proposes a detailed regulatory approach that harmonizes economic freedom, professional practice, and market dynamics.
