Commercial Law

Commercial law is, by definition, a body of law that applies to the rights, relations, and conduct of persons and businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales. It is considered to be a branch of civil law and deals with issues of both private law and public law.

Since commercial law relates to the laws that govern business and commercial transactions, it applies to virtually all transactions and it is advisable to contact our reputable attorneys before embarking on any deal or contract.
