Professor Afsharipour Selected to Chair the Director’s Collective

Professor Afra Afsharipour has been selected to chair the Advisory Board of the Director’s Collective, an initiative of the Conference Board, a global, independent business membership and research association working in the public interest.

The Director’s Collective brings together 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 Director’s Collective recently issued a new publication, Director’s Notes India.

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.
