Corporate law, as a branch of commercial law, governs the legal regulation of relationships related to the establishment and operation of legal entities. It encompasses both special and general methods for ensuring legal order in corporate relations, combining norms and rules of conduct that apply to all participants, protected by state enforcement mechanisms.
It also includes rules established by corporate governance bodies reflecting the collective will of its members — binding for all and enforced through corporate or state authority where necessary.
As a field of scholarly knowledge, corporate law includes the development of corporate norms, doctrinal research, principles and theories of corporate legal regulation, and practical legal interpretations that govern corporate relationships.
Corporate law as a science refers to the evolving system of knowledge concerning organizational legal frameworks and the functioning of corporations, identifying the objective laws governing their creation and operations.
