The article examines various interpretations of the concept of “non-state expert organizations,” relevant judicial practice, as well as current antimonopoly and other legislation governing the requirements for the use of the words “judicial” and “forensic” in the name of a legal entity.

The authors conclude that non-state expert institutions should be understood as specialized non-profit organizations established by citizens and/or legal entities that hold a license to conduct forensic expert activities, issued by an executive authority of the Russian Federation or of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation responsible for the development and implementation of state policy and legal regulation in the field of justice, and that have also undergone voluntary accreditation.

According to the authors, the use of the words “judicial” or “forensic” in the name of a non-state expert organization may indicate unfair competition or an abuse of rights and may entail adverse legal consequences.

The article proposes an optimal solution to this issue.
