Business law is a vast, challenging and often complex subject incorporating legal jurisdictions including company law; contract law; the English legal system and its interaction with the European Union; employment relations; and tortious liability.
The very nature of having to quickly understand these jurisdictions, at least to a standard to pass assessments let alone applying these in business scenarios, can prove daunting to any student.
It is essential that students view these separate areas of law as interrelated and understand how they may affect each of the trading structures in which a business operates. Beginning Business Law provides an introduction to the relevant laws in a straight-forward, no-nonsense way. It presents the main areas of law, setting them out with clarity and identifying the salient points that may then be applied in a business context. This enables the relevance of the law to future business-related careers to be highlighted and reinforced.
