A law firm is a business entity formed by one or more lawyers to engage in the practice of law.

Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts.

The parties to a dispute refer it to arbitration by one or more persons (the "arbitrators", "arbiters" or "arbitral tribunal"), and agree to be bound by the arbitration decision (the "award").

A third party reviews the evidence in the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding on both sides and enforceable in the courts.

A limited liability partnership (LLP) is a partnership in which some or all partners (depending on the jurisdiction) have limited liabilities.

It therefore exhibits elements of partnerships and corporations.

Corporate law (also "company" or "corporations" law) is the practice or study of how shareholders, directors, employees, creditors, and other stakeholders such as consumers, the community, and the environment interact with one another.

Corporate law is a part of a broader companies law (or law of business associations).

Other types of business associations can include partnerships (in the UK governed by the Partnership Act 1890), or trusts (like a pension fund), or companies limited by guarantee (like some community organizations or charities).

Under corporate law, corporations of all sizes have separate legal personality, with limited or unlimited liability for its shareholders.

Shareholders control the company through a board of directors which, in turn, typically delegates control of the corporation's day-to-day operations to a full-time executive.

Corporate law deals with firms that are incorporated or registered under the corporate or company law of a sovereign state or their subnational states.
