Corporate law, or "droit des soci茅t茅s" in French, governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of companies and other business entities. This area of law covers a wide range of issues, including the legal structure of companies, shareholder rights, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and the responsibilities of directors and officers. Corporate law ensures that companies operate within a legal framework that promotes transparency, accountability, and fairness, while also protecting the interests of shareholders, creditors, and other stakeholders.
