About the Book

Corporate Finance deals with how companies acquire resources, in form of funds, either internally or externally. This is mainly done via two modes, equity and debt. The Law of Corporate Finance prescribes the legal structure which includes; the rules for the corporate players in management of their finances, functioning of market regulators, investor protection, and the role of intermediaries.

Presently, the readings and resources in Corporate Finance Law are scattered thereby causing inconvenience to the knowledge seekers.

The conceptual links between the available resources seems to be missing owing to absence of a collated material dedicated to Law of Corporate Finance in India. With this handbook the editors seek to fill this gap and provide a comprehensive ready-reckoner thereby contributing to the literature in the concerned theme.

The concepts relating to and the legal regime prevailing for Corporate Finance in India constructs the central theme of the work.

The book will collate texts on various aspects of corporate finance in form of chapters, including international/cross-border perspectives. The text of the book would consist of explanatory, analytical, evaluative, and comparative studies contributed by the authors. The book would be helpful for everyone who desires to learn or earn in the field of Corporate Finance.
