Dharmashastra National Law University (DNLU), Jabalpur through its Centre for Corporate Laws and Governance (CCLG) invites academicians, legal practitioners and students to contribute blogs on contemporary developments in corporate law and governance.

In a rapidly evolving corporate legal landscape, globalization, regulatory reforms, technological advancements, and shifting stakeholder expectations are undeniable factors.

Additionally, complexities in mergers and acquisitions, shareholder activism, insolvency and bankruptcy, and FinTech regulation demand deeper scholarly and professional engagement.
