CENTRE FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH ON CORPORATE LAW
About us :
Corporate law is already an important area of law which is growing at an incredible pace in India. The focus of the Central Government to bring in companies to play a key role in economic development of the country is reflected from various schemes undertaken such as the 'Make in India', 'Skill India' etc. All these initiatives have increased the need of dynamic and skilled professionals who can cater the needs of these companies to smoothly establish themselves in the complex system of laws in India. The recent Companies Act, 2013 had been enacted to further carry on this initiative of the Government and incorporate the recent trends in the corporate law. It has great prospects of development in the national as well local level especially with the government at both national and state level promoting investment. There has been lot of amendments in the area of corporate law and its very important to focus on the impact and implementation in different parts of the country. Special attention should be developed for the North East region of India as it has great potential of development in the near future.
Corporate law as an academic discipline also has a great potential for the growth and research in corporate law. Lot of research needs to be done in various aspect of corporate law which is already lagging behind.
