What is Corporate Law & Governance?
Corporate law covers the legal framework that governs companies — including how they are formed, managed, financed, and held accountable. Governance refers to the systems, rules, and practices that guide how a company is directed and controlled.
Strong governance protects directors, builds investor trust, and supports sustainable business growth.
