The purpose of corporate law is the institutionalization of legal relations between corporations (companies, cooperatives, partnerships, non-profits, etc.) and people, and between corporations themselves, and to enable economic activity between them. In this activity there are occasionally conflicts of interest between shareholders and creditors, shareholders and directors, as well as between shareholders themselves that are resolved by legal documents worded by the parties according to general principles of law, such as the principle of freedom of contracts.
The various corporate laws also embody series of rules and regulations intended to establish boundaries within contractual freedom among the players in the corporate field, and their purpose is to reduce legal issues in which the business community and society seek to intervene, such as proper management of a corporation from an economic and legal standpoint. These rules are imposed on a corporation by law or judgment and direct its conduct in the economy.
