This Competition attempts to provide a platform for law students for expressing their views on various aspects of Mergers and Acquisitions and understand the various nuances of the entire process.

The competition is the first of its kind whereby students are provided with a unique opportunity to explore and engage in the field of Mergers and Acquisitions (‘M&A’) by combining theoretical knowledge with fieldwork practicalities.

The competition will allow young and dynamic students to understand and appreciate complexities involved in an M&A transaction.

The students are expected to analyze the specified M&A deal from all aspects, present arguments on legal issues and development concerning the deal with in depth research. The basis, aims and objective of the deal must be covered.
