Explore and apply legal concepts through practical, engaging and real-life cases studies.

Law for Business Students is the popular textbook for introducing legal concepts to non-law students in a practical, engaging way through real-life cases relevant to the business world. A clear explanation of the study of law and study skills leads into the main core topics of law: contract (including intellectual property), tort, employment and business organisations (including formation), governance and dissolution. The book includes a range of features to aid understanding, applying and analysing legal concepts:

  • Worth thinking about – discussion points to analyse within the classroom.
  • Exam tips – pointing to areas of the law which are ripe for questions in an exam, to help revision practice.
  • Chapter summaries – to reinforce learning of key concepts.
  • Key terms – highlighted in margin notes.
  • Review questions with answers – self-test questions and worked exam examples to consolidate knowledge,
  • encouraging students to apply the law and boost confidence.
  • Advanced questions – to challenge students in developing knowledge of the law.
