Regardless of the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union, the EU continues to hold significant economic and political influence on the global stage. American businesses, along with their legal professionals, must remain attentive to its institutions and laws, as the Union remains America's largest trading partner. While the book provides a historical and jurisprudential context for the Union, its primary focus is on elucidating business law. It serves as an introduction to American law students and lawyers, delving into the substantive aspects of the Union's law, particularly emphasizing the free movement of goods, workers, self-employed individuals, cross-border service providers, business entities, and capital. Additionally, it explores competition law, merger control, state subsidies, and cross-border investment regulation.

While the book excerpts seminal cases in each area of business law, its format deviates from the traditional law school casebook. The author, supported by practitioners, aims to provide exposition, explanation, and synthesis in each substantive area of law under examination. The second edition of the book expands the scope of issues presented and incorporates the latest jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, as well as acts of the Commission and other EU institutions.
