GNLU-KHAITAN CO. MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS BOOK PUBLICATION

We are pleased to inform you that the GNLU-Centre for Corporate and Competition Law (GCCCL) in collaboration with GNLU-Khaitan & Co. M&A Fellowship is inviting submissions for the first edition of its book, ‘Evolving jurisprudence in Mergers & Acquisitions’. The book will carry an ISBN number.

There has been a spate of high-profile Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) transactions in India in the last few years, whether domestic or international, and both inbound and outbound. M&A is the path businesses take to achieve exponential and not just linear growth and therefore continues to generate interest. Essentially all laws governing M&A transactions are in a state of evolution. Companies are still straddling two Companies Acts—1956 and 2013. Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) laws are constantly being amended and revamped to bring in additional safeguards for the minority investor community. The Central Government has revised the merger control thresholds under the Competition Act, 2002 and brought an amendment to the Target Exemption. Every transaction is now subject to public scrutiny. This book seeks to provide guidance on how the different facets of commercial law are impacting M&A transactions. It further seeks to provide guidance on changes required in the Indian context to ease and/or further regulate M&A in India.

Students enrolled in a graduate/post-graduate level law course with a recognized Law University, researchers, professionals or academicians are invited to contribute their original, unsolicited and unpublished papers/chapters for the book. Submissions should be within the range of 4000 words – 10000 words including footnotes and must be accompanied with an abstract of not more than 300 words.

Deadline:

The last date for submissions is 12 July 2018.
