The paper is focused on the draft of the process of Europeanization of law. The process of European integration is often understood mainly as an economic process which aims towards the world-wide integration and organization of manufacturing, commercial, banking and financial operations, technologies and information. It is, however, a complex social phenomenon which represents - in addition to economical transformations - a rather complicated cultural, social, political and legal process with an extremely broad impact in all areas of life. Europeanization, the notion increasingly used in connection with the process of European integration, significantly modifies the Czech legal environment, which is regarding to the sphere of enterprise too. Europeanization of law manifests with multi-centrism of sources of law, which brings specific problems both to the bodies which interpret and apply law and also into the legal position of legal entities and their legal awareness.

Keywords: European integration, globalisation, process of Europeanization, Europeanization of law, EU law, multicentric legal order
