This second edition provides an updated introduction to the commercially relevant areas of civil law (contract law, company law, corporate law, liability law, intangible property rights/intellectual property, cartel law, procedural law). The discussion is supplemented with instructive overviews and example cases. The principles of material law at both the national and international levels are also presented, with parallels and differences in each case, in order to go beyond the individual materials and form a cohesive system and thus promote a general understanding of judicial matters. This closes a gap in the educational literature, with public-law issues (European law & including a forward look at Brexit & and international law) and civil-law issues (with a focus on the latter) being presented in a single volume.
