The word is made up of 'Wirtschaft' (economy/business) and 'Recht' (law). It therefore refers to the part of the legal system that deals with the economy.
Das Wirtschaftsrecht regelt die Beziehungen zwischen Unternehmen.
Business law regulates the relationships between companies.
The component 'Wirtschafts-' (economic/business) is very productive and forms many words that have to do with the economy, for example 'Wirtschaftskrise' (economic crisis), 'Wirtschaftswachstum' (economic growth), or 'Wirtschaftswissenschaft' (economics).
Sie studiert Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Universität.
She studies economics at the university.
Since it is a specialist field, 'Wirtschaftsrecht' (business law) is often used with verbs such as 'studieren' (to study) or 'sich spezialisieren auf' (to specialize in). You can also be 'ein Experte für Wirtschaftsrecht' (an expert in business law).
Nach dem Studium möchte er sich auf internationales Wirtschaftsrecht spezialisieren.
