The article presents a detailed study of the evolution of corporate governance in Ukraine and Poland with an emphasis on the peculiarities of the development of legislation in both countries. The author analyzes the historical development of corporate structures, starting from antiquity and the Middle Ages to modern times, paying attention to important stages and changes in legal norms regulating corporate governance in Poland and Ukraine. The article begins with an overview of the early forms of corporate structures in ancient civilizations and traces their development through the main historical periods in Europe. The stages of formation of corporate governance in Poland and Ukraine during the 19th and 20th centuries are considered separately. In Ukraine, the formation of corporate governance was limited by the legal norms of the Russian Empire, and only with the transition to a market economy in the 1990s, a significant development of corporate forms, in particular limited liability companies (LLCs), was noted. In Poland, the development of corporate law was marked by intense changes, especially after the fall of the communist regime and the accession to the European Union, which contributed to the harmonization of Polish corporate law with European standards. The author analyzes in detail the key stages of changes in the legislation of both countries, including the codification of corporate law, adaptation to European norms, as well as the problems that arose at each of the stages. The article also considers the impact of economic and political changes on the development of corporate governance in both countries, emphasizing that although the initial stages of the development of corporate governance in Ukraine and Poland were similar due to geographical and historical proximity, further development in these countries took place differently. Poland has gone through stages of intensive reform and integration with the EU, which significantly influenced the modernization of its corporate law. In Ukraine, significant changes in corporate governance began only in the 1990s and continue to this day, with certain challenges and obstacles on the way to full integration into European legal standards. The article reveals both common and distinctive features in the evolution of corporate law in these countries. The findings of the study allow a better understanding of the influence of historical and political factors on the formation of modern corporate practices and norms in both states. The author concludes that although both countries started their journey in corporate governance from similar foundations, further development was significantly different due to the influence of internal and external factors. Poland was able to successfully adapt its legislation to European standards, while Ukraine is still at the stage of transformation. This emphasizes the need to continue reforms in Ukraine, in particular, for integration into the European legal space, which is critically important for ensuring the stability and transparency of corporate governance in the country.
