Commercial Law Intersections (2020)
Preprint / Working Paper
Castellano, G., & Tosato, A. (2020). Commercial Law Intersections

Commercial law is not a single, monolithic entity. It has grown into a dense thicket of subject-specific branches that govern a broad range of transactions and corporate actions. When one of such dealings or activities falls concurrently within the p... Read More about Commercial Law Intersections.
