Business Law
Much as it sounds, business law deals with any aspect of the law having to do with industry and commerce--from taxes and liability to licensing and trademarking. This is an extremely wide section of the law which forks off into numerous areas of expertise, many of which themselves differ based upon the size of the business and the stage of its development. Small-business law often focuses on the kind of legal counsel needed during the early years of a business, such as tax classifications, hiring employees, and the proper zoning and licensing needed to start a business. Corporate law is more likely to deal with the financial and structural status of an established company, as well as the provision of legal advice on day-to-day dealings.
