Private and Public Law Burdens on Business: Challenges and Solutions

The section entitled "Private and Public Law Burdens on Business: Challenges and Solutions" focuses on the analysis of legal constraints and obligations that affect business entities under private and public law. Contributions are welcome that address the differences between private law burdens, arising mainly from contractual relationships, property rights or obligations towards other entities, and public law burdens imposed on entrepreneurs by public authorities and public administration through administrative, tax, financial, environmental, or labor law standards. As an added value, contributions are expected to identify the main problems faced by entrepreneurs (such as a high administrative burden, inconsistent legislation, excessive regulation, etc.), with an emphasis on optimizing the relationship between ensuring the public interest and supporting entrepreneurial freedom and competitiveness, as well as proposing solutions aimed at simplifying the legal framework, strengthening legal certainty for entrepreneurs, and more effective coordination between the state and the private sector. Contributions may also focus on specific public-law burdens that affect business, such as restrictions on the ability to obtain financing and the raising of funds for business activities, or the rigidity of the legal environment in terms of the necessary licenses and permits for doing business in (over)regulated areas. On the other hand, contributions should seek an appropriate balance between the legal boundaries of permitted and prohibited business activities and analyse the consequences of the consumer or start-up mistrust, stemmed from previous bad experiences with such situations.
