over the last five years, the crowdfunding (collective financing with the use of new information technologies) has captured the markets of all developed countries, and it has received proper legal regulation in the majority of them. In Russia, the unified legal rules for crowdfunding relations have not yet been developed, although the law project work has been actively performed during the last two years. This article presents the juridical methodological analysis of Federal Law "On Raising Investments Using Investment Platforms" that passed the first reading in the State Duma. A conclusion is made about the necessity to improve the juridical methodology of the draft law.
