What is company law?

Company law, also known as corporate law or business law, is a branch of law that governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of companies or corporations. It encompasses the legal rules and regulations that dictate how businesses are structured, managed, and regulated. Company law covers a wide range of legal aspects, including the formation and registration of companies, corporate governance, shareholder rights, directors' duties and responsibilities, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and insolvency. The primary objective of company law is to provide a legal framework that promotes transparency, accountability, and fairness in the corporate sector.
