In the current conditions of European integration processes in Ukraine, the issues of activity of institutions aimed at guaranteeing and protecting the rights and interests of all the participants in public relations have become important. The study of the genesis of legal regulation of the status of legal entities engaged in the provision of legal services in our country have been become particularly relevant. In Ukraine, advocates have the right to provide all types of legal services, in particular to represent interests in court in all types of proceedings. An advocate is a natural person who practices law on the grounds and in the manner prescribed by the Law of Ukraine «On Advocacy and Advocatory Activity». In studying the genesis of the legal regulation of the status of legal entities engaged in the provision of legal services under the laws of Ukraine, special attention has been paid to the period after the restoration of our state's independence on August 24, 1991. Legal entities engaged in the provision of legal services were created and operated in various organizational and legal forms, the most common of which were and remain private enterprises and limited liability companies. The peculiarity of our legal system is also that the Law of Ukraine «On Free Legal Aid» was adopted and regulates, in particular, the status of centers for free secondary legal aid and the peculiarities of providing such aid by advocates, who are included in the Register of free secondary legal aid advocates. At the same time, the key role in providing participants of public relations with legal services in our state belongs to the bar. Therefore, despite the possibility of carrying out activities in the field of legal services by legal entities of all types and organizational and legal forms, a special place among them has been occupied by advocatory association and advocatory bureau. In the scientific article it has been summarized and highlighted the periods in the history of normative regulation of the legal status of these legal entities after August 24, 1991.

The article focuses on one of the corporate forms of entrepreneurial activity - general and limited partnerships. Limited liability companies and joint stock companies are among the most popular legal forms of companies. However, the development of Ukrainian legislation moves in the direction of creating a system of different forms of entrepreneurship, which are aimed at different needs and interests of their founders. Such forms of entrepreneurship exist and operate successfully in Europe. Carrying out a comparative analysis in the article allows the author to confirm the existing thesis that there is no single vector in European countries concerning the legal status of these partnerships. Some states define these partnerships as legal entities, others - as a form of joint business activity. It is emphasized in the article that the European legal space is characterized by the use of the concept of defective legal entity. The author perceives any of these European approaches, but points to the need for its consistent reflection in all legal acts that determine the status of general and limited partnerships. The article supports the assertion formed in the scientific literature about the criticism of domestic legislation on general and limited partnerships. Such criticism concerns to those norms of Ukrainian legislation, which use untypical provisions for legal entities. All existing researches are directed to one aim - to develop a single vector in the regulation of general and limited partnerships. They should be regulated either as legal entities or as forms of joint activity on the basis of an agreement. The author states that the main attention in granting general and limited partnerships the status of a legal entity should be focused on clear boundaries between the liability of a legal entity and the subsidiary liability of its members. The article supports leading scholars’ critical assessment of the legislative definition of general partnerships as an association of persons for joint business activities. Based on the analysis of the definitions of a general partnership in EU law (for example, France), it is proposed to define a general partnership as an association of persons engaged in business activities through joint contributions of all participants (full partners) and their subsidiary liability for the company’s obligations. This wording indicates that the partnership itself carries out business activities, and not its members. The author also does not deny the possibility of introducing general and limited partnerships as associations of persons on the basis of an agreement on joint activities. At the same time, it is noted that all norms of national legislation should consistently adhere to such concept.

Based on the problem situation conditioned by indeterminacy of institutional position of the standards of law enforcement ethics within the mechanism of contemporary law enforcement regulation, the author attempts to analyze the legal nature of the above standards. The study reveals that the legal nature of standards of law enforcement ethics is conditioned by the necessity to protect the identity of citizens and the law enforcement system itself from the negative impact produced by various forms of irregular conduct by subjects of law enforcement. As a result of comparing the standards of law enforcement ethics and the rules of law the author establishes that according to the technical-legal forms of their external expression and other attributes, as well as their regulatory potential, the standards of law enforcement ethics are comparable to the status of the rules of law. The study permits us to conclude that the standards of law enforcement ethics possess the classificatory identity typical of the protective rules of law represented by relations in the field of law enforcement activity. This identity is conditioned by the specificity of the subject of their regulation. The standards of law enforcement ethics are of subsidiary significance as they supplement and develop standards of status laws in matters of legal regulation of the moral aspect of the law enforcement activity.

Reliable and complete coverage of the financial statements of information on the size and composition of equity capital is fundamental for an objective assessment of the financial status and efficiency of the enterprise and for making further decisions by owners, investors, creditors and other users of information. Over the past few years, some changes have been made in the way in which the equity of the enterprise is reflected in the accounting, which requires detailed analysis and evaluation of changes to find ways to improve the accounting of equity capital of the enterprise. The purpose of this publication is to study the legal regulation of the formation and accounting of equity, in particular in limited liability companies, as well as the development of organizational principles of its accounting. Financial independence of the enterprise and other indicators of the financial state directly depends from the complete and clear legal regulation of accounting of equity capital by enterprises of various organizational and legal forms, the effectiveness of the information management of capital formation, profit distribution, dividend and other corporate rights. The normative regulation of the accounting of own capital in Ukraine at the state level (macro level) and at the level of economic entities (micro level) is investigated. From June 17, 2018, the new Law on Limited Liability and Additional Liability Companies came into force. The fundamental change in the regulation of the activities of economic entities of such organizational and legal forms leads to the need to amend its constituent documents and internal accounting regulations.

Moreover, there remains a wide range of variability in the selection of organizational and methodological approaches to accounting of equity capital. This, in turn, provides the opportunity for the owners of the companies to choose the optimal alternative accounting option for this particular entity, taking into account the specifics of its activities. The main internal regulations of enterprises regulating the issues of formation, use and accounting of own capital are the statute and order on accounting policy. The research revealed shortcomings in the formation of norms as a charter and an order on accounting policies of limited liability companies in respect of own capital. Proposed changes to the specified internal regulations of limited liability companies, which will bring their norms in line with the norms of legislation, in particular with the norms of the Law of Ukraine "On Limited Liability Companies" of 22.06.2018, № 2275-VIII, and will allow to obtain full, relevant , unbiased information about equity capital for all the interested parties.

Nowadays, legal clinics exist in almost every country in the world. The article examines the legal status of legal clinics in Ukraine to properly ensure the human right to legal aid. The author emphasizes that legal clinics are an important element of the legal aid institute. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to regulate the legal status of legal clinics, since in this way the state fulfills its obligation to guarantee the constitutional right of every person to receive legal aid. Even though legal clinics perform important social tasks, regulatory regulation of their activity is carried out only at the level of acts of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. All attempts to consolidate the legal status of legal clinics at the level of the law—for example, the Law “On Free Legal Aid” of June 2, 2011—remain unrealized. The author states that the issue of improving the legal regulation of relations involving legal clinics should be resolved in the near future. Moreover, the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainain Parlament) has recently started reforming its legislation in the field of advocacy. Therefore, there is a chance that the discriminatory norm of the Constitution regarding the lawyer’s monopoly on representation in court will be abolished. Thus, this will open the way to improving the status of legal clinics, as employees of such institutions will have the opportunity, in addition to legal advice, to represent their clients in court.

The juridical basis for supervision of foreign venture capital companies is contained in the provisions of Capital Law No. 21 of 2008 concerning the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Presidential Regulation No. 9 of 2009 concerning Financing Institutions and Minister of Finance Regulation No. 18 / PMK.010 / 2012 concerning Venture Capital Companies. Foreign venture capital companies that invest directly in Indonesia are a form of foreign investment. This is inseparable from the wide scope of foreign capital, which is defined as capital owned by foreign countries, individual foreign citizens, foreign business entities, foreign legal entities, and / or Indonesian legal entities whose capital is partly or wholly owned by foreign parties. Supervision of foreign investment is carried out by the Investment Coordinating Board in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 25 of 2007 concerning Investment. In accordance with the provisions in Permenkeu No. 18 / PMK / 0.10 / 2012 explained that the scope of supervision of venture capital carried out by the OJK is only limited to PMV Indonesia (Cooperatives or Limited Liability Companies). The implication is that OJK cannot supervise foreign PMVs that carry out direct financing. Because financing activities by foreign venture capital companies have intersecting rules, it is appropriate that foreign venture capital regulations only follow one specific rule. The regulation regarding financing institutions is only regulated in a Presidential Regulation. Although hierarchically, the status of the Perpres is an implementing regulation of the Law, the substance it regulates is not identical with the provisions of the Law which mandates it. Therefore, the provisions regarding financing activities should be regulated in a separate Law

The scientific article identifies the peculiarities of appealing the decisions, actions or omissions of public administration subjects on the provision of public services at the stage of initiation and preparation for judicial review of an administrative case. The author substantiates the feasibility of improving the legal regulation of the procedure for holding a preliminary hearing before the court hearing of the case. In particular, it is considered expedient to set the terms of the preparatory meeting from the moment of receipt of the administrative claim, as well as to determine the cases when the parties are not reconciled.It is established that the preliminary stage of the court hearing often ends with the conclusion of the preliminary proceedings and the appointment of the case to trial in the field of public services. This is not against the law. However, it should be borne in mind that in accordance with Art. 121 of the CAS of Ukraine such a decision is delivered by the consequences of preparatory proceedings, not the previous court hearing. Obviously, preparatory proceedings are not limited to, and do not always end at, a previous court hearing. Preparation may continue after a preliminary hearing. Therefore, the decision to close the preliminary proceedings and assign the case to trial after the consequences of the previous court hearing can only be made if the judge has taken all the measures necessary to hear the case. If during a previous court hearing in the field of public services, to which all persons involved in the case have arrived, the issues necessary for its consideration have been resolved, then, with the written consent of these persons, a court hearing may be initiated on the same day. In this case, the termination order is also delivered.

This article examines the issues of differentiation of legislative and subordinate regulation of public relations. It is noted that in the process of law-making activities, including the legislative process, practical questions often arise about the competence of various state bodies to establish various legal norms and rules. These issues are related to the need to establish a clear legal meaning of the constitutional norms devoted to the definition of the subject of regulation of laws. In particular, there is a need to clarify the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of the concepts "the most important public relations", "all other relations", "subsidiary legislation", as well as to establish the relationship between these concepts. Interpretation is also required by the provisions of p. 4 of Article 61 of the Constitution in terms of clarifying the question of whether the conclusion follows from mentioned provisions that all possible social relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to legal regulation, including those that are subject to other social and technical regulators (morality, national, business and professional traditions and customs, religion, standards, technical regulations, etc.). Answering the questions raised, the author emphasizes that the law and bylaws, as a rule, constitute a single system of legislation, performing the functions of primary and secondary acts. However, the secondary nature of subsidiary legislation does not mean that they regulate "unimportant" public relations. The law is essentially aimed at regulating all important social relations.

Introduction. Nowadays, the issue of determining the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLC and TDV has become quite acute, as evidenced by the adoption on July 28, 2021 by the Commercial Court of Cassation in Case № 904/1112/20, in which the Court established a new approach legal nature of such a phenomenon and expressed his own position on the understanding of the legislation concerning the legal status of the share of LLC and TDV in its own authorized capital. Given that a limited liability company is the most popular type of legal entity that is chosen to conduct business in Ukraine, the analysis of this issue is relevant. Some scientific value for the development of the transfer of the participant's share are the works of individual authors devoted to the study of the legal nature of the share in the authorized capital but the problems arising around the legal status of the company. in their own authorized capital in these works were only mentioned along with others, but did not receive a detailed separate study. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the normative regulation of the legal status of the company's share in the own authorized capital of LLCs and ALCs, identification of shortcomings in their legal regulation and implementation, as well as the search for ways to eliminate them. Results. One of the most relevant decisions concerning the subject of this article is the Judgment of the Commercial Court of Cassation in case № 904/1112/20 of July 28, 2021. The court in this case found that the votes attributable to the share belonging to the company itself are not taken into account when determining the results of voting at the general meeting of participants on any issues. However, Ukrainian legislation does not contain any direct norms that would prohibit the exercise of the right to manage a company in relation to itself on the basis of a share in its own authorized capital. That is why the company cannot be a participant in relation to itself, although they seem logical, but do not have sufficient regulatory support, and therefore do not allow to be firmly convinced of their compliance with the law. In view of this, it can be stated that there is a significant gap in the national legislation on this issue, which, in our opinion, the Court failed to “fill” with this decision in the case. Conclusion. In the Ukrainian legislation at the level of the Law of Ukraine “On Limited and Additional Liability Companies” Article 25 defines the possibility for a company to acquire a share in its own authorized capital. However, the regulation of the legal status of such a share cannot be called sufficient, due to which in practice there are certain problems in the implementation of the provisions of the legislation concerning the share of the company in its own authorized capital. The solution of these legal problems is necessary to ensure the highest quality and clarity of the law, as well as to form case law with common approaches to understanding a single rule.
