ABOUT THE JOURNAL:

The Journal on Corporate Law and Governance (JCLG) is a bi-annual, peer-reviewed academic journal established in 2008 under the aegis of the Centre for Corporate Governance at National Law University, Jodhpur. The Journal was conceived to promote holistic research in areas covered within the broad ambit of corporate law and governance frameworks. JCLG represents rigorous research, thought-provoking ideas, and high academic standards. It provides a platform for critical analysis of contemporary corporate law issues from both academic and industry perspectives.

The Journal holds ISSN Serial Publication No. 0976-0369 and is indexed on HeinOnline, Manupatra, and SCC Online. In addition to identifying challenges affecting the corporate ecosystem, the Journal seeks to examine and propose workable solutions that may inform regulatory and policy decisions. Our previous issues feature contributions from eminent practitioners, academicians, research scholars, and students.

The Journal has also successfully organized four Corporate Law Summits (2018, 2023, 2024, and 2025) in collaboration with prestigious institutions and organizations including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI), Khaitan & Co., National Federation for Corporate Governance (NFCG), IndusLaw, Trilegal, and SCC Online.
