THE LL.M PROGRAMME

The LL.M course offered by the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR University) and Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) is first of its kind LL.M. Degree Programme in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws and Procedures Law in India. India has a huge, emerging sector for helping distressed and bankrupt companies come out of financial difficulty. But it faces a huge shortage of bankruptcy professionals who can oversee the process. As of 2023, the country had nearly 3000 insolvency professionals; however, the number of Insolvency Professionals and Insolvency Associates are very less considering the number of filings taking place every day at NCLT. On an average, one Insolvency Professional needs at least 20 associates to assist in big-ticket CIRP and Liquidation cases. Therefore, there is a serious need to produce good insolvency associates and eco system at mass level for providing the support to IPs, IPEs, Consultancies, Law Firms, ARCs and Academia. Therefore, the Master level course / orientation in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws is the need of the hour. There is a vacuum in this area in the legal educational system in the country and this course seeks to fill up this vacuum.
