Article’s main body. With a large number of existing classifications of economic crimes, a special place is occupied by various types and forms of competition for assets in the markets for corporate control. It is clear that this competition is not always carried out legally, thus going beyond the law automatically equated with crimes in the economic sphere. In Ukraine, entrepreneurs are faced with raiding in 1990-2000, when the background of political instability, gaps in legislation, availability of informal sector actively followed the illegal redistribution of property rights. It is significant, that in times of change of power, strengthening the legal, organizational and economic instability is intensification of the struggle for the right to own or control business. Local governments perform their authority to entities exclusively within Article 143 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Local Government” and other laws, but clear regulation of responsibilities of local government officials and officials of local government for their activities in the municipal sector doesn’t still exist. This situation creates more favorable conditions for fraud of raider companies. Conclusions and prospects for the development. To solve the problem and avoid possible further consequences of raiding in Ukraine, it is needed to improve existing legislation, put amendments to the Civil Code of Ukraine and the Commercial Code of Ukraine, which will clearly regulate how to protect the rights of the owner of disorders associated with the use of state registers and the Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine, Commercial Procedure Code, Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, Code of Ukraine on administrative offenses defining common requirements for the jurisdiction of the relevant category of disputes, the responsibility of local governments. Further study of this issue will help to bring domestic legislation in this sphere in line with the international standards.
