General information
The Centre for Comparative Private Law was established on 1 January 2025 within the Institute of Law of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Comparative law plays an important role in the development of national legal systems. Comparative legal analysis, both from a theoretical and doctrinal point of view, as well as from the perspective of assessment of practice, provides scholars, practitioners and lawmakers, on the one hand, with opportunities to identify phenomena on a transnational and global scale, and, on the other hand, to take a constructive look at their own legal system from various new perspectives.
The identification and understanding of differences in the way phenomena of interest are regulated in different legal systems inspires the formulation of in-depth conclusions of a de lege ferenda nature.
The Centre’s research interests lie in the area of private law, in particular phenomena operating in the framework of business law, commercial law and commercial and investment arbitration.
Planned areas of activity:
- preparation of own and commissioned analyses as well as legal opinions;
- undertaking cooperation with national and foreign research centres as well as with state and international institutions and bodies;
- organising seminars, conferences, trainings;
- undertaking cooperation with the private sector in order to exchange experience, carry out joint research, expert and educational projects;
- obtaining grants for research related to the Centre’s subject of interest.
