Commercial law is a part of private law and specifically business law, governing the exercise of the profession of trader and defining the legal regime applicable to commercial acts.

Business law is one of the branches of private law which concerns a set of rights relating to business affairs such as contract law, commercial lease law, intellectual property, company law, commercial procedure, tax law, criminal law, consumer law, etc. It regulates the activity of traders and industrialists in the exercise of their professional activity. It also defines occasional acts of commerce produced by non-trading persons.
Public business law, or public economic law, includes all the branches of law relating to public intervention in economic activities. This intervention may involve taking charge of economic activities, supervision and regulation of activities, or even intervention on the structures carrying out the activities. Contrary to what its name might suggest, all of the components of public business law do not fall under public law. Commercial law, competition law and even substantive law of the European Union have an essential place in the exercise of public business law. The latter is then more of a multidisciplinary subject than an autonomous branch of law.

The legal world and the business world are closely linked. Laws and regulations form the basis for the creation and day-to-day operations of a commercial company.
“Business entities” and “legal persons” are legal identities.
The natural person designates an individual.
A legal entity is a legal entity made up of one or more individuals.

The principle of the limited liability company (SARL) was created to encourage business.
The SARL is made up of at least two partners (or by a single partner when it takes the form of a single-member SARL). The liability of the partners is limited to the amount of their contributions.

The formation of a company always presents a risk, the registration of a company as an SARL makes it possible to establish a separation between the assets and accounts of the natural person and those of the company.

For official registration with the relevant legal institutions, it is strongly recommended to seek assistance from an expert in business and commercial law.
Regular legal monitoring will be a guarantee of economic success.

Good recording that complies with standards is a complex act.
Defining the role and powers of each partner (their rights and obligations) will facilitate day-to-day operations. The role of the lawyer will be to draft the different clauses of the contract.

The different types of contracts:

• employment contract
• contracts with suppliers
• contracts with customers
• rental agreement

WARNING: Poorly drawn up contracts expose the company to possible prosecution!
The financial capacity of the company may be compromised and may result in a forced cessation of activity.
The lawyer supports the company in constructing its legal identity. It provides the company with the assurance of protection against lawsuits.
Furthermore, in the event of non-payment by a customer, or by a supplier who has not fulfilled a contractual obligation, your Barouch Bloch lawyer will be best placed to defend your rights.
