What Is Business Law?

Business Law—also referred to as Commercial Law—governs the legal framework that regulates business activities, including:

  • Company formation and governance
  • Commercial transactions and contracts
  • Employment relationships
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Business dispute resolution
  • Bankruptcy and liquidation procedures

In Syria, Business Law is shaped by several key legislations, including the Syrian Companies Law (Law No. 29 of 2011), the Commercial Code, the Labor Law, and various sector-specific regulations issued by the Ministry of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection.
