Corporations Act 2001
Australian commercial law derives its authority from various sources. The Corporations Act 2001 sets out the laws which govern how companies are formed, and how they must operate, both internally and in their interactions with other businesses. This statute is administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Commercial lawyers also deal with industry codes of practice: Regulatory frameworks developed for use within specific industries. Some examples include the Australian Banking Association’s Code of Banking Practice and the Insurance Council of Australia Limited’s General Insurance Code of Practice.
