What’s the difference between company, commercial and business law?

Company law governs how companies come into existence and how they should be run. Commercial law is the law which governs commercial transactions.  It includes agency law, contract law, terms and conditions of trading, amongst other things.  Business law is a much wider term and can be taken to include any law which affects a business in a commercial sense, which for the purposes of this definition could include employment law, intellectual property law and data protection law.
