About Us

Commercial law, also known as business law, is the body of law that applies to the rights, relations, and conduct of persons and businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales. It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals with issues of both private law and public law. It can also be understood to regulate corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods.

In general terms, intellectual property is any product of the human intellect that the law protects from unauthorized use by others. The ownership of intellectual property inherently creates a limited monopoly in the protected property. Intellectual property is traditionally comprised of four categories: patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets.

Unfair competition addresses circumstances where consumers have been misled, or deceptive trade practices, as well as practices designed to restrict or alter a company's revenue. In all cases, the activity can legally give rise to a tort action.

Sports law can be best described as the application of the law to a sporting context. From , marketing, promotions, social media, and other intellectual property matters to sponsorships, venue partnerships, event contracts, broadcast programming, arena naming rights and brand protection of professional athletes, clubs or federations, the bandwidth of topics is wide.
