How will this Course help you?

By merely learning the Sections of The Companies Act, 2013, or going through various regulations you learn very little about the actual work, which you will have to do eventually. Since, the course talks about matters that are dealt exclusively by the NCLT in a gradual and a steady manner, thereby giving you exposure to the procedural as well as substantive aspects of dealing with and appearing before the tribunal for these matters. The knowledge and skills you study from the course at Lawctopus Law School will help you learn:

  • Why and How of Company law
  • Registration process of a company
  • Management of a company
  • Financing of a company
  • Restructuring a company
  • Careers in Corporate law

Who can enroll for this course?
