About the Course

The Online Certificate Course on Mergers & Acquisitions, offered by Dharmashastra National Law University (DNLU) provides a thorough grounding in the legal, strategic, and practical dimensions of M&A transactions. Over five modules, participants will explore corporate restructuring fundamentals; internal capital maneuvers such as share reductions, buybacks, sweat equity, and ESOPs; the full lifecycle of mergers, amalgamations, takeovers, and acquisitions; and the critical drafting, due‑diligence, and negotiation skills required for Shareholders’ Agreements (SHAs), Share Subscription/Share Purchase Agreements (SSA/SPAs), and Business Transfer Agreements (BTAs).

The course also addresses contemporary challenges—ranging from anti‑dilution protections to investor rights. Through real‑world case studies (including the Dineout merger), regulatory overviews (Companies Act, SEBI, CCI, NCLT), and interactive sessions with leading practitioners, students, legal professionals, and finance experts will gain hands‑on expertise to structure, negotiate, and execute M&A deals confidently.

Course Eligibility
