Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines the origins, conceptual foundations, defining features, and practical applications of the Proactive Law movement, which emerged in Scandinavia in the late 1990s as an alternative approach to legal thinking. It begins by analyzing leading definitions in the relevant literature to identify Proactive Law’s core elements, including its preventive and ex ante orientation, grounding in legal realism, instrumental view of law, and strong business focus. The chapter distinguishes Proactive Law from earlier preventive law models, particularly Louis M. Brown’s work, by emphasising its interdisciplinary character and outcome-oriented methodology. It also addresses the movement’s theoretical and geographical limitations and evaluates its potential extension to other areas of private law and to the legal systems of developing countries.
