A New Perspective on the Role of Law: The Positive Perception of the Law

Developed by Liliana Bakayoko, the Positive Perception of the Law is an original legal theory that encourages entrepreneurs, executives, and organizations to view legal norms not as limitations, but as instruments for strategic development.

Rather than remaining passive subjects of legal regulation, businesses are encouraged to become active participants in shaping their legal environment through creativity, anticipation, and strategic planning.

This approach enables companies, institutions, and NGOs to transform legal challenges into opportunities for innovation, differentiation, and long-term value creation.
