Modern processes related to the digitalization of legal relations significantly affect the development of society and the state as a whole. The adaptation of the legal system of Ukraine in the era of digitalization is a multifaceted phenomenon generated by changes in the life of society in connection with the rapid introduction of new technologies, digital platforms, mobile applications, social networks, etc. into human daily activities. Among other things, this also affects the formation of a personal information and communication space, involvement in which is one of the basic requirements for a person’s perception of today’s realities. The adaptation of the legal system of Ukraine in the era of digitalization boils down to a set of changes in regulatory and legal regulation, public administration, state policy, etc., which in their entirety are aimed at ensuring the timely consideration of the latest digital achievements in society and the state. In the article, the authors understand the directions of adaptation of the legal system of Ukraine in the era of digitalization as vectors defined at the level of current trends in the digitalization of social relations, as well as basic regulatory legal acts and the practice of their application, which reflect the most characteristic changes in the legal system of Ukraine in the era of digitalization. These directions include: rethinking the legal regulation of business and digital entrepreneurship; the emergence of new technologies and their widespread implementation in everyday human activities and the provision of public services; rethinking the standards of social security of citizens; the development of electronic justice; the introduction of digital tools to prevent corruption, etc. In this direction, the authors consider it appropriate to develop a Strategy for Adaptation of the Legal System of Ukraine in the Era of Digitalization, which should define the basic principles of digital entrepreneurship in Ukraine and the use of digital entrepreneurship platforms; provide for the stages of implementation of digital tools for the provision of public services, etc.
