It is precisely the concept of hybridization of law that refers to the current transformation of the legal framework so that law, i.e. legal rules adequately responded to the needs and challenges of digital transformation. The authors research and discuss the scope of the hybridization of law, that is how traditional legal rules are adapted to the modern needs of science and practice, with an emphasis on legal certainty. The subject of the research is the interaction of the traditional legal system and Industry 4.0, with a focus on the adaptation and transformation of legal norms in the digital environment. Indirectly, the process of hybridization of law is in focus, which is demystified through the mutual influence of legal principles and digital innovations. The purpose of the research is to provide a comprehensive insight into the phenomenon of legal hybridization, identifying the key challenges and opportunities that Industry 4.0 brings to the legal system. Analyzing the model of law hybridization contributes to a better understanding of the development of law in the digital era and the establishment of a framework for the application of best practices in modern legal systems. To that end, the research includes an analysis of key approaches to the hybridization of law, as well as the identification of the basic elements of this process and the key legal, technological, sociological and economic factors that enable or limit its development.
