While this brings with it a wealth of diversity and opportunity, it also creates the need for a clear and solid international law definition. International lawyers are increasingly being employed to balance the legal needs and obligations of companies, businesses and individuals who are living and trading across borders and are thus subject to various legal systems.

Instead, the term 'international law refers to a wide variety of laws that regulate the interactions of businesses or individuals across nations and various legal systems.
