AB  - The article investigates a contrastive analysis of professional French and Czech in the framework of IGA project at the University of Economics in Prague, called European Terminology in Economics and Law. After a general lexicological and stylistic characterisation of French used in business law, the stress is put on contrastive analysis of French and Czech business law in the field of law and liguistics with the emphasis on the fact that a reformulation and transfer of a particular content between different linguistic codes requires not only good language and linguistic competence, but also an adequate additional professional competence. Further, the article proposes a particular linguistic presentation of legal vocabulary, which includes also certain thematic micro-systems with terms used in their most common collocations while their language equivalents are determined not only by their position in their own language systems, but also by their position within adequate non-linguistic contexts (i.e. legal systems).
