As we always tell our clients, RISK MANAGEMENT is as important as crisis management, whether for companies or individuals.

What is Commercial Law?
Commercial law is the branch of law that regulates the rights and obligations relating to commercial enterprises, traders and commercial relationships. It covers both domestic and international commercial transactions. Commercial law encompasses a wide range of areas, from company activities to contracts, and from creditor and debtor relationships to competition and consumer rights.
The Scope of Commercial Law
The main topics covered under commercial law are as follows:
- Establishment and Operation of Commercial Enterprises: Company incorporation, commercial registry records and business management.
- Commercial Contracts: Sales, supply, dealership and franchise agreements.
- Receivables and Payables: Commercial debt collection, payment obligations and enforcement proceedings.
- Competition Law: Prevention of unfair competition and protection of market order.
- Commercial Disputes and Litigation: Resolution of commercial disputes in court and arbitration proceedings.
The Importance of Commercial Contracts
Commercial law emphasises the correct and lawful drafting of commercial contracts. The content of a contract determines the rights and responsibilities of the parties. Incomplete or incorrect provisions may give rise to significant commercial risks and disputes in the future. Therefore, a commercial lawyer plays a critical role in the drafting, review and negotiation of contracts.
The Role of a Commercial Law Solicitor
A commercial law solicitor provides support to businesses and traders in the following areas:
- Company incorporation and commercial registry procedures,
- Preparation and review of commercial contracts,

Resolution of Commercial Disputes

A commercial law solicitor ensures that the process proceeds in a manner that is legally compliant and advantageous to the parties.
Commercial Law and the Business World
