Introduction: modern legal science and practice is aimed at the need to ensure and develop law and order both at the level of individual countries and at the level of the entire world community as a whole. At the same time, it is obvious that private-law relations occupy a significant place in the structure of legal relations. That is why it seems interesting to examine the main trends in the influence of private law on the development of law and order as such, to identify the main forms of such influence, to determine the directions for the development of private law and to make recommendations on the possibilities for improving private-law regulation on a national and international scale.
Methods: the system method was chosen as the determining method for studying the trends in the development of basic private law institutions from the standpoint of the norms of Russian and international legislation. The choice of the system approach as the determining method of investigation is due to the fact that it is this method that makes it possible to reveal the integrity of the developing object, which is the rule of law, to reveal the interrelationships of individual institutions and private law rules with each other and the legal system as such.
Analysis: the study examined the main trends in the development of private law in the current economic and political environment, in addition to aspects of the general part of civil law, including explored the scope of intellectual property, private-public partnerships, corporate relations. The problems of stimulating innovative development by means of private law were touched upon, as well as recommendations on the use of private law mechanisms to protect the national interests of the Russian Federation.
Results: in the course of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to formulate a clear and well thought out concept of private law, which should combine public and private interests in the legal regulation of public relations. The creation of such a concept, oriented to practical application, should become the main task of modern civil science.
