Analyzed is the novelty contained in Article 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. It provides for the inclusion of corporate relations into the sphere to be covered by civil law. The author firmly believes that such a novelty has an impact on the fundamental issues of the theory of corporate law, namely, the legal nature of corporate relations and its autonomous content. And it is important to identify corporate law as an independent branch of civil law. The author concludes that it is necessary to distinguish between the basic and derivative corporate relations. The corporate relations are of an absolute nature. In the light of what was stated it becomes evident that the imperative norms do have superiority to regulate corporate relations. The absolute nature of corporate relationship is an objective reason of the peremptory norms regulating corporate relations. It is concluded that the legal structure of a legal person is the most complex phenomenon in civil law. No other legal relationship does not arise with the birth of a new legal entity. It is impossible to differentiate norms, which, on one hand, define the legal status of a legal person, on the other hand - define the content of thus emerged relationship. This construction is the result of said relationship. Legal essence of this legal entity is manifested in respect of participation in legal entity or its management. And this determines the essence of all that relates to the legal status of a legal entity.
Corporate law, corporate relations, subject of the civil legal regulation, legal entity, corporation, corporate legal relationships.
