One of the relatively newer branches of law is the area of Corporate Laws. Corporate laws came into the forefront with the advent of industries and diverse businesses setting their base in India. After understanding the gravity of the business carried on by the companies, the need for developing a law that would deal purely keeping the best interests of a company at heart was felt necessary to be laid down.

Thus, right from the birth of a company in the form of its incorporation till the day it gets dissolved by any mode, corporate law takes within its purview everything under the sun so long as it deals with any aspect of a company.

• Corporate legal services involve all matters in connection with companies, its director, shareholders, promoters and such other stakeholders.
• Highly crucial and intricate corporate matters like mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, etc. come within the purview of corporate law.
• Professionals engaged in providing legal services in this particular area of the law are expected to have sound theoretical knowledge of these laws, without which they will not be able to carve a niche for themselves.
• A common misconception among people is that they often think that providing corporate legal services is basically something that they can do by themselves without getting any formal degree.  While they may be able to provide corporate legal advice or assistance, yet your theoretical foundation will remain incomplete without which it will be impossible to gain mastery over the subject matter.
• Professionals involved in this area of law should be well aware that when any corporate entity approaches them for any legal advice or help, there is a lot at stake, not only monetary  but also goodwill of the client. Corporate entity is heavily dependent on the corporate law professional assisting them. A minor error in judgment can lead to a great loss.
• All these points make the field of corporate legal services a fiercely competitive area of law which is the reason why today, more and more people opt for specializing in this upcoming and still booming branch of law.

• Corporate legal laws basically deal with the adjudication of disputes or matters in connection with companies, its director, shareholders, promoters and such other stakeholders. Even if we say that corporate law deals with the laws of a company, yet this study in itself is so exhaustive that people often take several years to gain mastery over the subject matter.
• Moreover, this is one such area of law which gets easily affected by the economic sphere as well as any nature of change in the government.
• Lawyers practicing in this field, thus, have to keep updating their knowledge about the current developments in the form of rules, regulations, guidelines, etc.    

• Companies desirous of appointing a lawyer or a law firm to handle their corporate matters, usually opt for a name that is reliable, trustworthy and has earned goodwill for itself in the legal fraternity.  However, hiring such professionals also comes with a lot of baggage.
• First of all, these corporate legal services providers can cause a big dent to the company’s pocket. Some legal professionals, as part of their standard procedure may apart from their legal fees also charge them a fixed percentage of amounts depending upon the money at stake in their matter.
• Some companies still gladly appoint such players because of the fact that in any matter, company’s goodwill is at stake which is worth much more. As also, giving these corporate lawyers what they demand for is a way for the client company to ensure that these professionals give their first preference to their case over the others.
