Insolvency Law and Corporate Asset Valuation

What's included?

Who Should Take This Programme?

Legal professionals and students: The team at EBC Learning has designed this programme to enable a student to pursue a career in IBC. The programme deals with many practical aspects of IBC, filling in IBC, the interplay between company law, competition law and M&A. It is primarily a professional course, however, law students can take the programme early on in their career to get an edge over others and excel in their internships. The course speakers are highly qualified practitioners who can help one build their IBC practice.

The programme specifically focuses on the filing system, the appeal procedure, the discussion of landmark cases in IBC, and the emerging jurisprudence in IBC, helping a professional establish a flourishing career in IBC.

Stakeholders like Creditors and Corporate Debtors and CA: This course can also be taken up by various stakeholders like creditors and corporate debtors, and CAs. This course focuses on the valuation process in IBC, the entire life cycle starting from the issuance of a demand notice to the initiation of CIRP.

Corporate teams and in-house counsels: Given the rapid change in compliance requirements, very often, in-house counsels of corporations are unable to get proper exposure and the necessary training in IBC matters. In-person re-training and upskilling can prove costly and often requires time off work. An online course with classes on weekends is the ideal solution. Business owners can use this course to train their teams in IBC matters. In the programme, you also make valuable connections with professionals across India, which can be a crucial resource in times of need.

How Should One Approach This Course?

We have designed the course to make it as flexible as possible so that you may easily fit it into your schedule. The programme includes videos, texts and live lectures. To make the most of the programme, one is expected to watch the videos, and read the texts during the week — i.e before attending class on the weekend. In this way, you may watch and understand all the content at your leisure during the week and attend practical workshop-like classes on weekends.

Do note that you may find it hard to follow the workshop-like classes in case you have not pre-watched the videos that are a part of each course and read the pre-reading materials. The course also requires writing pre-class notes where you can comment on the readings and videos. The instructor uses these notes to address your queries in class.

Mode of Instruction & Class Timings

The live sessions will be conducted online, and courses will be available on the EBC Learning platform (ebclearning.com).

Session Timings: Afternoon & Evening Sessions on Saturdays.
