Who Should Take This Course?
Legal professionals and students: The team at EBC Learning has designed this programme to enable a young professional or a student to pursue a career in corporate law. The programme deals with many practical aspects of raising funds and pitching to investors. It is primarily a professional course. However, law students can take the programme early in their careers to get an edge over others and excel in their internships.
Legal professionals practising any other branch of law, may also take this course to re-orient themselves in corporate law. This course will provide the necessary tools and connections to start and grow your corporate practice.
Entrepreneurs: Today, no business can flourish without capital and the right investor. Therefore, it becomes imperative to understand how to pitch to an investor to seal the deal, the different kinds of funds operating in India, advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of funds — this is all essential knowledge to raise capital. If you are leading a startup, managing a family business, or wish to expand and grow your business knowing what the law provides is crucial. This course will provide you with the essential tools.
Chartered Accountants: Often, as part of helping your client to raise funds for the business, you will have to assist your client in making a pitch book, and explain the funding process and the entire process from raising capital to executing the transaction document. This course will provide you with the essential tools.
Corporate teams and in-house counsels: Given the rapid change in compliance requirements, legal rules and regulations, very often, in-house counsels of corporations are unable to get proper exposure and the necessary training in corporate law 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 corporate law 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.
