Banking and Finance is a leviathan field of law that encapsulates various dynamic and technically complex areas which confer an ever-evolving characteristic to it. Aspects such as capital transactions, loan agreements, debt structuring, recovery litigation, and the swift growth of the fintech sector show the relentless importance and relevance of this domain.

Accordingly, this edition of the Conclave aims at providing a platform for the initiation of a novel discourse on the pressing issues in the interminably expanding field of banking and finance practice in India and presenting innovative solutions to the issues faced by all stakeholders.
