Class Commercial Law II

In this curricular unit, the legal regime of commercial companies is studied from their incorporation to their extinction, in particular the general part of the commercial companies code, limited liability companies and corporations. Since commercial companies are legal persons that carry out a commercial activity and operate in the market, knowledge of their legal regime has enormous practical relevance in the exercise of legal professions.
