Enterprise agreements: essence and branch

The research demonstrates the authors' attitude towards the specific nature of agreement-based regulation in the field of entrepreneurship. The attempts to legalize the term ‘enterprise agreement' in the context of its legal uncertainty generate a scientific debate among the followers of civil and economic concepts. There is no consensus between legal theorists and practitioners. Supporting the civil doctrine, the authors rely on research into the entrepreneurial relations, analyze their economic and legal nature and conclude that the category of enterprise agreement is conditional, and contractual structures falling under this concept refer to the institutions of civil law.
