Abstract

The new Limited Liability Company - New Firm Act in Spain is analysed as a compromise between a laissez faire legislature trying to speed up the process of incorporation of companies and lowering legal barriers to entry and interest groups that make a living through the regulation of entry. The substantive review of company contracts by registrars is criticised and some proposals for deregulation are made.

Keywords: freedom of contract, incorporation, interest groups, rent seeking, company law, commercial registry
