Business Law and Commercial law are two areas of legal practice that have so many overlapping issues that most lawyers who practice one will also have expertise in the other.

  • Commercial Law focuses on the sale and distribution of goods, as well as financing of certain transactions.
  • Business Law focuses on the other aspects of business, including forming a company, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder rights, and property issues such as leasing office or warehouse space.

A business that sells products will almost certainly need a lawyer with experience in both of these fields.
