Business Law and Using a Solicitor

1. Which Laws Affect You?

1.1 At the heart of business law are the laws covering two key areas:

  • Contracts - between yourself and your suppliers and customers.
  • Trade - how you are allowed to sell, and what restrictions apply. Selling to members of the public is particularly heavily regulated.

1.2 A solicitor can advise you on which other laws may apply to your situation (see 7).
