Overview of the webinar
Commercial law or business law is the body of law that governs business and commerce and is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals both with issues of private law and public law. Commercial law regulates corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sale of consumer goods. Though this is woven into modern-day life, employment law remains ignored or neglected.
These neglected parts of the employment law may bring businesses and corporates a lot of trouble. It may be regarding the credibility of the business affecting the operations as well as business volume. This webinar series deals with employment law in great detail considering modern-day highlighted cases. This webinar series can be your employment law guide to maintain the smooth functioning of your business.
