The NMIMS School of Business Management has launched a 2-year full-time MBA (Law) at its Mumbai campus aimed at professionals interested in carving out a career in corporate law and others sectors needing in-depth knowledge and understanding of the law, business and management.
Post liberalisation, with the emergence of globalisation, the role of corporate legal counsel has assumed importance in the context of mergers & acquisitions, foreign funding, cross-border transactions, contract management, virtual marketplace, corporate reporting, governance, risk management, international taxation and regulatory compliance.
All these transformations are rendering businesses complex, markets highly regulated, and are opening up avenues for advanced and complex applications of corporate laws.
New generation legislation related to competition, bankruptcy, cyber security, corporate restructuring, cross-border deals etc. have become an integral part of most of the economic activities.
The commencement of the program is on August 1. The admission process will close on August 16.
In this context, MBA (Law) would enable participants to polish their knowledge and expand their capabilities by gaining better analytical skills, strategic understanding of business required for business data analysis, legal drafting and communication skills, NMIMS said.
Students from legal and other professional disciplines like CA, CMA and CS will get the necessary knowledge and skills of business administration along with enhanced knowledge of business laws both from domestic and global perspectives.
The program will also provide application orientations to all young lawyers aspiring to excel in the corporate and consulting world, with explicit skill sets for business administration and major relevant laws.
The program will be delivered by distinguished faculty from academia and industry through lectures, presentations and contemporary simulation-based interactive case studies to facilitate application oriented practical implementation of theories and concepts.
