About the Course on Contracts Drafting with Luthra & Luthra Law Offices India and CALSTAR at MNLU, Mumbai

Every commercial transaction is built on contracts.

From routine business arrangements to mergers, acquisitions, investments, and cross-border transactions, contracts define how deals are negotiated, risks are allocated, and businesses are protected. The ability to draft them effectively is one of the most valuable skills in corporate practice.

In collaboration with the M&A Team at Luthra & Luthra Law Offices India, SimuLegum is launching a practical, drafting-focused Certificate Course on Contracts Drafting designed for law students, young professionals, and early-career lawyers who want to develop practical drafting skills used in corporate and commercial transactions. The Centre For Advanced Legal Studies Training And Research at MNLU Mumbai is the Centre Partner for the course.

What makes this programme unique is its progression from the fundamentals of contract drafting to sophisticated transaction documentation. Participants move beyond standard commercial agreements to understand the drafting logic behind Share Purchase Agreements, Shareholders’ Agreements, investment documentation, due diligence protections, regulatory clauses, transaction negotiations, and restructuring documentation, providing a structured understanding of how corporate transactions are documented from start to finish.

This is not a theoretical course on contract law.

This is how corporate and commercial contracts are drafted, negotiated, reviewed, and structured in practice.
