Business Law Guide
Business law encompasses the formation of new businesses and any issues that arise during the course of the business’s life. Businesses can be viewed as separate entities that are subject to their own set of rules designed to give every business in the marketplace a fair opportunity. In this comprehensive guide, learn about all aspects of business law – from formation, to selling a business, to how a business lawyer can help in any business venture.

What is Business Law?
Business law deals with the creation of new businesses and the issues that arise as existing businesses interact with the public, other companies, and the government. This area of the law draws on a variety of legal disciplines, including tax law, intellectual property, real estate, sales, employment law, bankruptcy, and others. Business law attorneys specialize in transactional work, meaning they do not represent clients in court. In fact, business lawyers are often hired for the purpose of avoiding future litigation.
