this practical analysis of the law covering merchants’ status and obligations

and bankruptcy.
Discussion of economic law covers the laws governing establishment,
supervision of economic activities, competition law, and government taxation
incentives. These details are presented in such a way that readers who are
unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully
grasp their meaning and significance.

executives and their legal counsel with international interests. Lawyers
