Commercial law - NLK LawKancelaria Prawnicza Nowotnik Lipski Szafrański

Currently, the entrepreneur must take into account two formal dimensions in his or her business activity.

First, it is necessary to properly secure transactions pursuant to private law – through appropriate professional preparation of an agreement, model form of an agreement or regulations, through application of adequate assurance against effects of non-performance or improper (untimely or partially defective) performance of an agreement by a counterpart which allows for effective enforcement of rights that arise out of the agreement. The entrepreneur must calculate into his projects all the risks related to unreliability of his counterpart as well as to the factors of chance, taking them into account in agreements with his counterparts.

Second, when carrying out business projects one must take into account the existing public law regulations that– depending on the line of business – may arise out of provisions of energy law, building law, food law, education law, pharmaceutical law or the law on measures – and have vital impact on the viability of the undertaking and its business risk as well as the wording of the agreement with the contractor.
