Business law deals with the formation and management of businesses, commercial transactions, and protects the rights of shareholders, directors, employees, and consumers. It includes issues related to real estate, taxation, and the environment. Business law encompasses many aspects such as contracts, insurance, corporate regulations, employment, manufacturing, and consumer goods. It is important for business owners and managers to understand business law to operate legally and avoid issues stemming from ignorance of the law. Minors generally do not have the legal capacity to enter into contracts as they are not considered competent to make binding agreements.
