The protection of entrepreneurs’ economic rights is evolving rapidly amid global digital transformation. This article analyzes how constitutional and judicial systems adapt to emerging digital realities, using the case of Uzbekistan as a focal point. It examines how foundational constitutional guarantees, legislative initiatives, and judicial practices shape an environment conducive to entrepreneurial freedom. Special attention is given to challenges in digital justice, such as the handling of digital evidence, cross-border disputes, and cyber risks.
