Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'corporate' (relating to corporations) modifying 'law' (the field of legal practice) yields 'law concerning corporations'. This adjective+noun construction is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Corporate law comes from the word corporation, which originally meant a 'body' of people acting as one. So corporate law is the set of 'rules' about how that business body is set up, works, and is run.
