Professor Afsharipour Participates in The Directors' Collective Events in India
Professor Afra Afsharipour will travel to India to attend events connected with the publication of the Handbook on Corporate Governance in India: Legal Standards and Board Practices, which she authored. The Handbook on Corporate Governance in India was solicited by The Conference Board, a global, independent business membership and research association working in the public interest.
The events are sponsored by The Directors' Collective, a new initiative that brings together the independent research and thought leadership of The Conference Board with the subject matter and global expertise of professional services firm KPMG, executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates, and law firm Khaitan & Co. The collaboration is designed to guide corporate directors in India in carrying governance and compliance responsibilities as they prepare for the complex demands placed upon board members and senior executives by The Companies Act 2013, the revised Clause 49 of the listing agreement of the Securities Exchange Bureau of India (SEBI), and other upcoming industry-specific regulations. The Handbook on Corporate Governance in India is the inaugural piece in a portfolio of research publications and practical comparative tools that The Directors' Collective will launch in India.
Professor Afsharipour will speak on the Handbook and participate in a panel discussion of senior experts at The Director's Collective events in New Delhi and Mumbai on January 18, 19, and 20.
Professor Afsharipour's areas of research include comparative corporate law and governance, mergers and acquisitions, and transactional law. Her scholarship has appeared in numerous law reviews, including the Columbia Law Review, the Minnesota Law Review, the Vanderbilt Law Review, and the UC Davis Law Review.
