Comprehensive Coverage. Willes provides students with a clear understanding of the legal environment for business professionals, owners and managers in Canada. Covering all the core topics of business law, as well as many emerging topics, this resource provides the comprehensive breadth of coverage that allows educators to tailor material for the needs of their course and program.

Business Orientation. Contemporary Canadian Business Law informs and educates students who will need to identify when legal advice may be required once they become working professionals or business owners. The Willes/Willes text speaks to students as business students rather than as potential law students, helping them to apply the principles to business problems.

Learning-goal Approach. Contemporary Canadian Business Law adopts a learning-goals approach to the law, with clear learning goals leading the way as each chapter opens and robust pedagogical features guiding students throughout. In addition to clarity in development and explanation, scope, depth, interest, and debate are further fueled through use of special features. These range from management advisories and checklists to ethical questions, case summaries, and topical media items that will be familiar to many students. Tying it all together, review questions, mini-cases, and discussion cases provide not only review, but drive home the application of legal principles and rules to business problems.

Part Openers. Covering the full span of business law in the everyday commercial world, the Willes/Willes text is divided into six parts, including 1-The Legal Environment for Business, 2-The Law of Torts, 3-The Law of Contract, 4-The Law of Business Relationships, 5-The Law of Property, and 6-Special Legal Rights and Relationships. Each part opens with a list of the chapters that are included within the part.
