The article presents the specific nature of the economic law of Ukraine, in particular the laws concerning commercial companies. The author delineates the modern day economic legislation of Ukraine, characterizes respective organizational-legal forms of conducting economic activity, including those which are considered most optimal for foreign investors and which operate also in cooperation with Ukrainian entrepreneurs. Additionally, the organizational-legal regulations on obligatory state registration of economic enterprises are analyzed in detail. A separate portion of the article is devoted to selected aspects of Ukrainian tax law, employment laws, and residency laws, acknowledging also the dangers awaiting foreign investors, among others the pressing problem of “corporate raiding” i.e. illegal and hostile takeovers of the functioning companies, and the helplessness of the juristic system when it comes to protection of enterprises in Ukraine. The scope of the article does not allow a broader view on the issues related to economic activity in Ukraine, instead, it attempts to encapsulate pragmatic benefits and dangers concerning business investments sin Ukraine.
