Abstract
This article aims to analyze the powers and duties of administrators of private legal entities as provided in the Brazilian Civil Code, examining their foundations through the lens of the economic analysis of law. The approach is based on a descriptive-analytical, theoretical, and qualitative methodology, systematically exploring, from a multidisciplinary perspective, the interconnection between legal and economic concepts. It begins with an analysis of the scope of powers and duties of administrators of private legal entities in Brazil and the consequences arising from their breaches.
