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 is devoted to issue establishing and disclosing the beneficial owner by the participants of economic relations. The identification of beneficial owners is an integral and primary component of preventing and combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The current legislation supplemented the range of persons to whom identification and verification procedures should be by trusts and «other similar (to trusts) legal entities». Nevertheless, the definition of beneficial owners in this category of persons has been complicated by the lack of proper legal regulation of trusts at the national level and lack of unification in international law. Subjects of primary financial monitoring must take into account many different types of trusts and similar structures. Trust has to be recognized even in a combination of the beneficiary and the proxy in one person. The concept of «other similar (to trusts) legal entities» should be consolidated by establishing their qualifications. The beneficial owner, unlike the beneficiary, can only be a person who has direct or indirect influence (control) over the client's activities and does not have the status of an intermediary, commercial agent, or nominal owner/holder. The features of the concepts «significant influence on the management or activity of a legal entity» and «decisive influence (control)» are analyzed. The availability of access to insider information and the possibility of its use personally or through third parties should be studied for financial monitoring purposes, as it may indicate the indirect decisive influence on a legal entity or other legal entities.

The article deals with studying the legislation of individual countries on the legal status of non-entrepreneurial legal entities. It is stated that in international practice there is no single term that would describe all non-entrepreneurial legal entities. Typically, several terms are used, such as non-for-profit orgnisation, non­governmental organization, charity organization, private voluntary organization, civil social organization. In the scientific work authors analyzed the documents that are common to the whole European community and individual countries. The main features of non­entrepreneurial legal entities according to European standards are outlined. Among them: the main goal can not be making a profit, and in the case of making a profit it is aimed at achieving the goals for which the organization was created, non­entrepreneurial legal entities with legal personality acquire the same rights as other legal entities, the possibility of creating member organizations and organizations without membership. It is noted that the division of non-entrepreneurial legal entities on the basis of the system is the fundamental in Poland. That is why non­entrepreneurial legal entities in Poland are divided into companies and foundations. German law provides the creation of not only companies and foundations, but also associations that may not be intended for business purposes. The scientific work studies not only the provisions of legislative acts, but also the scientific developments of domestic and foreign scientists. In particular, doctrinal approaches to non-entrepreneurial legal entities in Germany, Japan, England and Wales were studied. It is concluded that it is not possible to accept the legal model of a non­entrepreneurial legal entity of a certain country and introduce it into national legislation, because each country has its own peculiarities.

entities in EU member states.Many EU Member States use two criteria for determining the personal law of a legal entity: the settlement criterion and the incorporationcriterion. However, the application of the theory of settlement in determining the personal law (statute) of a legal entity actuallyimpedes the implementation of the principle of freedom of establishment contained in the TFEU, as the relocation of control centers ofthe legal entity to the state where the theory of settlement is applied. loss of legal personality of a legal entity. This position is based onthe case law of the Court of Justice. In addition, the application of the theory of settlement and incorporation significantly complicates the process of regulating theactivities of legal entities and slows down the development of the single market in the EU.The experience of European countries in drafting an international treaty containing norms on unified legal regulation of the statusof legal entities has not proved effective. The EU has chosen other mechanisms for resolving conflicting issues of legal status of legalentities, namely: harmonization of national laws of EU member states on certain issues of legal status and activities of legal entities, aswell as the creation of new organizational and legal forms of legal entities. This partially overcomes certain issues of conflict-of-lawregulation of the status of legal entities, for example, the issue of cross-border movement of European companies, European cooperatives;in accordance with EU Directive 2019/2121, the rules of the laws of the Member States on cross-border transformation, mergersand divisions of limited liability companies should be harmonized.

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.

Abstract The paper focuses on the very topical issue of conclusion of the membership of the State, namely the United Kingdom, in European integration structures. The ques­tion of termination of membership in European Communities and European Union has not been tackled for a long time in the sources of European law. With the adop­tion of the Treaty of Lisbon (2009), the institute of 'unilateral' withdrawal was intro­duced. It´s worth to say that exit clause was intended as symbolic in its nature, in fact underlining the status of Member States as sovereign entities. That is why this institute is very general and the legal regulation of the exercise of withdrawal contains many gaps. One of them is a question of absolute or relative nature of exiting from integration structures. Today’s “exit clause” (Art. 50 of Treaty on European Union) regulates only the termination of membership in the European Union and is silent on the impact of such a step on membership in the European Atomic Energy Community. The presented paper offers an analysis of different variations of the interpretation and solution of the problem. It´s based on the independent solution thesis and therefore rejects an automa­tism approach. The paper and topic is important and original especially because in the multitude of scholarly writings devoted to Brexit questions, vast majority of them deals with institutional questions, the interpretation of Art. 50 of Treaty on European Union; the constitutional matters at national UK level; future relation between EU and UK and political bargaining behind such as all that. The question of impact on withdrawal on Euratom membership is somehow underrepresented. Present paper attempts to fill this gap and accelerate the scholarly debate on this matter globally, because all consequences of Brexit already have and will definitely give rise to more world-wide effects.
