Legal matters arising from commercial enterprises, companies and commercial contracts.
General scope
Commercial law concerns commercial enterprises, companies, commercial contracts and transactions between traders. Registry records, representation authority, contract provisions and commercial books or correspondence are considered together.
The commercial nature of a dispute may matter for jurisdiction, evidence and pre-action procedures. The company’s current registry record and representation at the transaction date are checked separately.
Main topics
- Commercial contracts
- Company formation and decision-making
- Partnership relationships
- Commercial receivables and disputes
- Pre-action mediation
Points for initial assessment

Examine registry, signature and decision documents as of the transaction date.
Review the entire contract
Consider annexes, amendments, notices and actual performance together.

Distinguish pre-action and judicial routes according to the dispute.
