Dear colleagues,

Very warm greetings from Centre for Commercial Law in Asia (CCLA). It’s our inaugural eNewsletter!

As the new year begins, we are working on few new projects. Coming April, we are launching a new core research initiative: Sustainable Development and Commerce Initiative (SDCI).

The SDCI aims to lead in generating capacity and expertise at YPHSL in the conduct of legal research on sustainability of commercial growth and development in the Asia-Pacific region. In so doing, it seeks ultimately to position YPHSL and CCLA as a thought-leader in this critical space. The creation of SDCI as a focal point for sustainability research comes at a time when world economies, including the growth engines in Asia, are placing ever-increasing emphasis on the lasting consequences of their actions.

This is just one the new projects, do stay tuned for many exciting programmes ahead of us!

ABOUT CENTRE FOR COMMERCIAL LAW IN ASIA 

The Centre for Commercial Law in Asia (CCLA) was established in 2014 as the Centre for Cross-Border Commercial Law in Asia. Since then, it has been instrumental in driving the ambition of the Yong Pung How School of Law at the Singapore Management University (SMU) to be the leading centre in Asia for the study of commercial law.

Often in collaboration with other academic institutions and industry partners, CCLA brings together faculty, practitioners, post-doctoral fellows, visiting researchers and students in a symbiotic environment, thereby facilitating a vibrant exchange of ideas.Members of CCLA regularly obtain grants and other funding to research cutting-edge developments in relevant areas of commercial law in Asia, with many such projects successfully concluded and others ongoing. One example is the government-supported Singapore Global Restructuring Initiative, a current research project seeking to promote important research discourse on restructuring and corporate insolvency law in Asia and around the world.

CCLA also hosts a number of lecture series, conferences and seminars in commercial law facilitating scholarly research and discussion while engaging with law firms, industry stakeholders and other academic institutions. Recent events have featured collaborators and speakers from, amongst other universities, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Melbourne, Sydney, the University of Hong Kong, the University of York and Queen Mary University of London.CCLA therefore sets out to be a vital forum for the tackling of complex local, regional and international issues in commercial law.
