The article analyzes the current approach to the identification of new branches in the legal system of Ukraine.The modern world does not stand still and is constantly evolving and gives impetus to the development of all spheres of human life, respectively, there are relationships that require legal regulation.Some scholars believe that in the presence of an independent subject of legal regulation, its ownmethodology of legal regulation and a set of specialized legislation, it is possible todistinguish an autonomousbranch of law.
It is determined that the emergence of new branches of law is hindered by the dominant concept of the existence of only the main ones. Proponents of this concept categorically reject the possibility of the existence of relevant secondary, complex branches of law. This scientific approach inhibits the study of modern social relations. Negative attitudes towards the separation of new branches of law inevitably lead to gaps in the field of special legal research and, as a consequence, to a lack of qualified personnel with specialized knowledge.
It is suggested to take into account the positive experience of foreign colleagues of lawyers who boldly present the achievements of current practices and are not afraid to consider them branches of law, we mean educational, sports, military, gender, «cryptocurrency», admiralty law and others.
It is concluded that the division of law into new branches allows more effective regulation of legal relations in relevant areas, given that global trends are increasingly in demand for universal lawyers, but with specialization, with in-depth knowledge in one or more areas of law.
Keywords: branch of law, subject of legal regulation, method of legal regulation, complex branch of law
