A business is an entity-company, partnership, corporation, or other type of formal organization--that exists to make a profit. Business law is the area of law that deals with the legal needs of those entities.
People need a business lawyer when forming one or more of the following business entities: sole proprietorship; partnership; corporation; limited liability company; non-profit. Business law attorneys help clients by creating or reviewing business contracts or agreements, and in the buying and selling of businesses and property associated with them.
