Business law is the entirety of all legal norms relevant to the economy. Under this umbrella fall the economic constitutional law, the economic administrative law and the private economic law. The task of economic law is to regulate the relations of private economic actors among themselves and with the state.
The commercial law in Germany is standardized in numerous individual laws, so that it is not easy for non-lawyers to get an overview of the various legal norms relevant to the economy. It is therefore advisable to seek the help of a specialist lawyer in good time if you have any questions about commercial law.

International Business Law
International economic relations are governed by international commercial law. Due to increasing globalisation, international economic law has an increasingly important role to play. For example, a company from Munich has more and more customers in neighbouring countries, or even worldwide. This means that international business law applies in addition to German business law and the question arises how to harmonize the different laws.
In many areas of international business law a certain standardization of legal norms has already taken place. Nevertheless, there are often cases of considerable divergences between the different national and international legal norms.
In principle, the norms of international and European law take precedence over the norms of German commercial law. Thus, the relationship between national and European law can be summarised as follows “European law breaks federal law”.
A company based in Munich must therefore not only observe the legal provisions applicable in Germany or Bavaria, but must also always orient itself to EU law.
In recent years, a large number of court decisions have been issued which should provide more clarity in international business law. However, this has only been achieved to a limited extent, so that many questions have remained unanswered and always require careful examination of individual cases.
Companies and entrepreneurs should therefore seek advice in business law from a specialist lawyer in good time in order to avoid taking unnecessary risks in international business transactions.
Private Business Law
Private commercial law is of particular importance for those involved in economic life. The term private commercial law is not defined by law. It generally refers to the rules governing the exchange of goods and services between producers, traders, companies and consumers. It covers the following areas in particular:
