"This fourth edition of Business Law offers a comprehensive and accessible coverage of the key aspects of business law. Established legal topics such as the English Legal System, Contract, Consumer, Intellectual Property Law, Company and Employment Law, and emerging areas such as Health, Safety and Environmental Law are all addressed in the context of business. The work has been thoroughly updated to include all the major recent developments in business law, such as the new EU Trade Secrets Directive and case outcomes decided since the publication of the last edition. The book also discusses the impact of Brexit. In addition, the book features extensive diagrams and tables, revision summaries, reading lists, and clear key case boxes for easy reference. This book is ideal reading for undergraduate Law and Business Studies students, while also being applicable to practitioners and those with a more general interest in business law"-- Provided by publisher.
