The language used in the book has intentionally been kept free
from legalese and at times, conversational, to ensure a simple
explanation of the purpose behind a specific law and how it
impacts day-to-day transactions. It does not get into complicated
details and interpretations like a legal book but explains the
impact of laws like a business book. I hope that it will be an
effortless read.

The gamut of laws that can become applicable to a business can

the laws applicable to multiple states.
4. Lastly, you can also use this book to correlate and gain an
idea of the areas in which your business can be regulated,
in case you wish to search for applicable laws in different
countries.

law and common law. To put it simply, a legal system based
on civil law follows the letter of the written law. Therefore, the
interpretation by the courts is more static and is not evolving.
On the other hand, common law jurisdictions give significant
