Summary/Abstract: The article encompasses the legal perspectives and challenges emerging when corporations defend their rights at the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Researching the procedural aspects and jurisprudential developments, it aims to conduct a legal analysis of the human rights entitlements of corporations, as legal entities, enshrined in the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). Issues concerning property rights, fair trial, and fundamental liberties protected by the European Convention, are addressed. Furthermore, the research explores the extent to which rights traditionally attributed to natural persons beyond business context, such as the right to privacy, freedom of expression, and the entitlement to just satisfaction, apply to legal entities. Attempting to shed light on the context of corporate rights and their intersection with well-established human rights standards, the article contributes to fueling the dialogue between business and human rights within the European legal framework.
