Digital transformation has become one of the most influential phenomena affecting modern society in recent decades. The emergence of digital commerce, electronic transactions, and technology-based business platforms has encouraged the evolution of business law in order to address increasingly complex legal challenges in the digital era. This research aims to analyze the transformation of business law within the dynamics of modern society and to examine how business law has developed in responding to changes in transaction patterns in the digital environment. The study employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches. Legal materials used in this research consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources obtained through library research and analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that business law has undergone significant transformation through the recognition of electronic transactions, digital agreements, consumer protection mechanisms, and regulations concerning data security and digital accountability. In addition, the development of modern transaction patterns has encouraged legal adaptation toward platform-based business models, electronic payment systems, and online commercial interaction. The study concludes that business law continues to evolve as an adaptive legal instrument aimed at maintaining legal certainty, fairness, and protection within technology-driven economic activities in modern society.
