Liikelakiin

Liikelakiin is a Finnish term that generally refers to business law or commercial law. It encompasses the body of legal rules and principles that govern the conduct of business and commercial activities. This area of law is broad and includes various aspects of business operations.

Key components of liikelakiin can include company law, which deals with the formation, operation, and dissolution of businesses such as limited liability companies (osakeyhtiö) and other corporate structures. Contract law is also a fundamental part of liikelakiin, governing agreements between businesses, customers, and suppliers. This includes the formation, interpretation, and enforcement of commercial contracts.

Furthermore, liikelakiin addresses issues related to intellectual property rights, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights, which are crucial for businesses to protect their innovations and brands. Competition law, aimed at preventing anti-competitive practices and ensuring a fair marketplace, is another significant element. Consumer protection laws, which safeguard the rights of consumers in their dealings with businesses, also fall under this umbrella. Insolvency law, dealing with situations where a business is unable to meet its financial obligations, is also a part of the broader liikelakiin framework. The specific regulations and statutes that constitute liikelakiin are found within Finnish legislation and are interpreted and applied by Finnish courts.
