ärimisõigus

Ärisõigus, also known as commercial law or business law, is a branch of law that governs the rights, relations, and conduct of persons, merchants, and business organizations. It encompasses a wide range of legal principles and regulations that apply to commercial activities. In Estonia, ärimisõigus is a significant area of law that aims to ensure fairness, predictability, and efficiency in the business environment.

Key areas within ärimisõigus include company law, which deals with the formation, operation, and dissolution of various types of business entities such as limited liability companies (OÜ) and public limited companies (AS). Contract law is another fundamental component, governing agreements between parties involved in commercial transactions. This includes aspects like offer, acceptance, consideration, and remedies for breach of contract.

Insolvency law, concerning the financial distress of businesses and the procedures for bankruptcy or restructuring, also falls under the umbrella of ärimisõigus. Furthermore, intellectual property law, protecting intangible assets like trademarks, patents, and copyrights, is crucial for businesses seeking to safeguard their innovations and brand identity. Competition law, aimed at preventing anti-competitive practices and promoting fair market competition, is also an integral part of ärimisõigus. The objective of ärimisõigus is to facilitate commerce while providing a framework for resolving disputes and protecting the interests of all stakeholders.
