Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive presentation of legislative regulation provided by the Advocacy Act, practical problems, doctrinal discrepancies and possible solutions in regard mandatory professional liability insurance of the Croatian law firms established as limited liability companies. The paper provides analysis of the respective regulation, its practical application and repercussions. Findings indicate certain inconsistency in the analysed regulation. Regulation requires all the Croatian attorneys to have professional liability insurance in amount not less than therein stipulated. Regulation also asks for mandatory professional liability insurance of the Croatian law firms established as limited liability companies in an amount considerably higher than mandatory minimum amount of the professional liability insurance of an individual attorney. In the current practice, insurance of both a law firm established as a limited liability company and its lawyers has been asked for. Such interpretation of the said regulation causes considerable legal uncertainty. In most cases, it either diminishes one of the main characteristics of the limited liability company under Croatian law i.e. to be a legal subject separate from its founders, or has no legal basis at all. Analysed legal uncertainty presents a system risk for Croatian lawyers, their clients and insurers, demoting competitiveness of the entrepreneurial environment in the Republic of Croatia. This paper pleads for, and provides support to, elimination of such negative status.
