It writes and enforces rules for processes, namely, corporate insolvency resolution, corporate liquidation, individual insolvency resolution, and individual bankruptcy under the Code. It has recently been tasked to promote the development of, and regulate, the working practices of, insolvency professionals, insolvency professional agencies and information utilities, and other institutions, in furtherance of the purposes of the Code.

About The Conference

Finance is the lifeblood of the corporate economy, with banking institutions facilitating the flow of finances within the framework of economic theories and jurisprudence, thereby enabling self- sustaining economic growth, especially in promoting entrepreneurship. Without the synergy among Finance, Banking, and Economics, firms within the corporate economy will have limited exit strategies, resulting in significant wastage of monetary resources.

In recent years, there has been a recognized need for growth in research and development within the sectors of finance, banking, insolvency, and economics, particularly with an increased emphasis on financing social sector schemes. The identification of viable financial instruments, banking procedures, regulations, insolvency exit methods, and economic doctrines for optimal resource utilization has been a primary focus of research in monetary matters. In this context, a conference dedicated to celebrating successes and addressing challenges within existing systems is essential.

During this two-day conference, NLUO aims to initiate a dialogue on the interconnectedness of finance, economics, and banking, with a deeper exploration of insolvency and bankruptcy procedures to enhance the efficient use of financial resources. This dialogue is intended to foster a systemic approach to integrating all regulatory aspects and rule-building, ensuring a cohesive framework that serves the interests of stakeholders in the corporate economy.

Objective Of the Conference

There are very few conferences in India which dedicate themselves to discussion of commercial, economic and bankruptcy related topics. NLUO is desirous of establishing an annual conference purely for discussion and researching of financial, commercial economic and banking related discussions.

In line with their commitment to academic excellence and the pursuit of knowledge, they propose to organize a conference that will serve as a platform for legal luminaries, scholars, professionals, and policymakers to converge and exchange ideas, and deliberate on the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in the corporate economy.
