Corporate law can cover numerous aspects. It can refer to the process of setting up a business in this country (investors can choose from corporate bodies or partnerships) and it also regulates legal matters referring to mergers and acquisitions, very complex procedures that are always completed with the help of a law firm in Australia.
Corporate legislation also encompasses the rules and regulations through which corporate governance can be achieved in this country.

Generally, the management of a company is comprised of the shareholders (or the founders of the company) and the board of directors.
