What is Commercial & Corporate Law?

Corporate Law governs the formation, structure, and governance of companies, while Commercial Law addresses the legal aspects of day-to-day business transactions. Together, they ensure that businesses:

  • Operate within legal boundaries

  • Enter valid and enforceable contracts
  • Grow through strategic partnerships and investments
