About us

The Foundation Laboratory of Law and Entrepreneurship was created to combine the knowledge of researchers and the experience of practitioners in the field of law and economy. We work towards Polish economic development and the elimination of legal barriers for entrepreneurs. We want the law to foster business activity and innovation.

Polish economy needs new tools and methods for solving its problems. We have created The Laboratory since currently the processes of establishing and applying the law too often constitute unacceptable experiments on the living organism of Polish economy. We need thoughtful and safe solutions - these are what we are looking for in our daily activities.

We decided to achieve these goals through active influence on the legislative process and the practice of applying the law. We publish reports and analysis. We prepare legislative proposals beneficial for entrepreneurs. We organize seminars, conferences and training. We work with a wide range of experts: from the worlds of science and business.

We are open to your comments and questions. We encourage you to contact us for cooperation.

PARTICIPATION IN THE PROCEEDINGS BEFORE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

In order to improve the quality of law enforcement and the implementation of the constitutional principle of freedom of economic activity, the Laboratory – as a non-governmental organization (NGO) - is involved in proceedings before public authorities, especially in the civil, administrative and court- administrative proceedings.
