Corporate Finance & Investment

Corporate finance law is a key part of any growing business needing to finance its operations and ensure that its structure complies with the legal and regulatory constraints of the region it operates in. It consists of the legal rules that structure the financing of a business or start-up, i.e. how a company can obtain funds to finance its operations and it is also related to other areas of law such as general contract law, property law, corporate law, and securities law. Companies have a wide range of options when it comes to financing. Corporations can either take out loans from banks or allow new shareholders to equity-finance and become owners of the company. In that case, the company should clarify the terms. This means the company must mention voting common stock, preferred stock with restricted voting rights, and stock tracking, etc. A company may also issue debt securities, such as bonds, and list its stock or debt securities on the primary market.
