The undesired and unintended effects of the regulations will be analyzed in a bid to contribute to the creation of more efficient law. To foster the importance of the fact that high civil servants, judges and attorneys should understand that the efficiency of economic theories is not to be undermined. Every decisionmaking individual, political or legal, needs to be informed of the consequences their decisions on society. The analysis of law and economy also permits attorneys to understand the impact of legal regulations on the commercial and patrimonial situation of clients, which allows them to provide better advice. In particular in areas where there is an active administrative regulation in which both economists and attorneys participate, the analysis of economy and law will allow for the understanding of mutual positions, leading to a stricter legislation without inconsistencies regarding their objectives.
