BUSINESS LAW Panagiotis K. Panagiotou, Professor at the University of Thessaly, Attorney at Law ISBN 978-960-622-506-2 Abstract: The content of this study is the introduction to Business Law – the general part, Industrial Property and Competition Law, Corporations Law, Bills / Securities Law (bill of exchange and checks), Insurance Law, Insolvency Law and Maritime Law. This present study has taken into account almost all of the rapid mass legisla- tive modifications which have taken place in the aforementioned classical branches of Greek business law, especially pertaining to the years of the economic crisis in Greece. It basically concerns transitive and conjunctive regulations of law, which have a uncertain existence as enduring abiding regulations. In recent years there is a turn in business lawbecause of its characteristic inherent necessity to become a soft law, which can contribute, as is required, to the running of the private global econ- omy. In order to satisfy contemporary commercial transactions, and its expediency to contemporary entrepreneurial activity, the Greek legislator will have to be more venturous in the difficult but necessary transition from the traditional commercial law of commercial undertakings to a much more broader and self-contained busi- ness law , which will also comprise of classical commercial law, labor and tax law.The law of commerce should be the equivalent of the global business in the sense that it should be adapted to the needs of the international environment as a more com- prehensive law of the economic market, but also to the particularities of the Greek social environment with respect to the restrictive principles of the current Greek law.
