Business Law
Business Law (also referred to as Commercial Law) governs the transactions between businesses. This includes business formation; litigation; contracts; mergers and acquisitions; commercial leasing; and consumer protection. Business law deals primarily with the definition of rights and responsibilities, as opposed to the enforcement of laws. Business law and commercial law encompass several overlapping issues.
