NLS – NFCG corporate governance moot

After a series of delays and confusion, the team for the NLS Corporate Law moot (Prateek Datta, Rohan Sahai and Mayur Bhandari) was finally formed on 10th November 2008, which incidentally was also the last date of registration for the moot! In the two weeks we had for preparing the memo, it was only in the last week that we to move beyond the realms of ‘materiality’ and ‘independence of directors’ to the actual legal issues involved!

Then the action shifted to Bangalore. From a particular ‘all girl’ team expressing sarcasm and wonder at every stage of our progress, to a team randomly asking Rohan at the Xerox shop for a copy of one of the cases we had used, the two days were full of surprises for us. The most pleasant surprise of all, of course, was winning the moot after a tense final round. Cheers to Corporate Governance (moot!)
