Liikelakeissa

Liikelakeissa is a Finnish phrase used in legal and journalistic contexts to refer to matters governed by corporate or business law. The word is formed from liike (business, commercial activity) and laki (law), with the inessive suffix -ssa meaning “in” or “within.” Because it is not a standard legal term, its exact meaning depends on context; it tends to denote the sphere of rules and norms that apply to corporations, their governance, and commercial activities.

In practice, topics that might be described as being “liikelakeissa” include corporate governance, fiduciary duties of directors and managers, shareholder rights, mergers and acquisitions, corporate taxation, compliance, disclosure obligations, and regulatory reporting. It is often used informally to frame discussions about how corporate law influences decision-making in companies, ownership structures, and market conduct.

Usage and limitations: liikelakeissa is a figurative expression rather than a formal doctrine or defined field. It does not appear as a defined academic subject in legal glossaries. In formal Finnish legal writing, it is more common to refer directly to specific statutes and areas of law, such as osakeyhtiölaki (the Limited Liability Companies Act) or other relevant acts, rather than use the umbrella term.
