Commercial Law is the part of private law, which regulates commercial operations and merchants (natural persons or legal entities which are professionally engaged in commercial activities). Commercial law covers an array of topics, such as companies and business associations, commercial paper, stock market, banks, commercial agreements, industrial and intellectual property, free and fair competition, etc.
It is very important that a commercial contract encapsulates in clarity the constituents of the commercial transaction as well as the rights and obligations of the parties. The lawyer’s contribution is, thus, critical in the stage of negotiations and/or formalization of the agreement. Otherwise, following the emergence of any disputes and conflicts, it is very likely that the parties are inevitably led to particularly burdensome (cost- and time-wise) litigation procedures.
