Business law (or commercial law) is the branch of legal studies concerned with governing the activities, rights and conduct of both businesses and individuals engaged in commerce. Contract, corporate and intellectual property law all fall under its purview. Business law seeks to provide an umbrella under which transactions, disputes and compliance with legal standards within the business world can take place.

Understanding and adhering to business laws are vitally important for entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals operating commercial businesses as they enable effective navigation of legal terrain while mitigating any possible legal risks that might exist in any particular legal landscape.
