The law governing transactions between businesses and/or individuals is known as transactional law.

Transactions can range from simple sales agreements to complex arrangements, and can require review, drafting, negotiation, as well as counseling and advice from experienced lawyers. Many transactions require continued support and updating to reflect the continued relationship between the parties.

Extensive document drafting and negotiation assistance to clients is a large facet of transactional law. Transactional law covers a broad range of transactional matters, including commercial law, small and large business law, personal finance, and numerous other legal areas. Business transactions include buying, selling, divesting, and reorganizing.
