Representation of an entrepreneur in the legal proceedings

The legal position of an entrepreneur and representation of an entrepreneur in their business activity has been regulated by the new Law on Economic Associations (2011), while the new Law on Legal Proceedings (2011) has regulated representation of an entrepreneur in the legal proceedings. In striving to provide the monopoly of advocacy in representation, the legislator has limited the postulation ability of an entrepreneur in the legal proceedings and, besides the mandatory lawyer’s representation in the proceedings on extraordinary legal remedies, it has been regulated that the litigation attorney in the first and second instance procedures has to be a lawyer. However, at the same time, the legislator has planned for some exceptions to the rule, as well as some new solutions concerning the legal representatives of an entrepreneur in litigation. In the paper the author offers some new legal solutions related to representation of an entrepreneur in the legal proceedings and she also indicates their drawbacks.
