Most law books are written by lawyers for lawyers and this is good because we need sound academic legal books to know and understand the law. But the information in most of these books tend not be too accessible to non-lawyers without the advice and guidance of lawyers. Therefore, this book does not intend to be an academic treatise on business law, but to be a practical guide for you, a non-lawyer, first learning about the law and how it operates in Canada. Further, it is targeted at business students and business managers to be able to have a pragmatic overview of the application of various areas of law as concerns their respective businesses. It provides overall guidance of the law as an overview, factoring business contexts to teach you to assess legal risk.
