NLS-SAM FinTech Moot Court Competition and Conference 2024
NLS Campus
Saturday, September 14, 2024
The event will be held over two days.
The first edition of the ‘NLS-SAM FinTech Moot Court Competition 2024’ is being held on September 14 and 15, 2024 at the NLSIU campus. The moot court competition offers a chance to students from across the country to gain exposure to emerging regulatory issues in finance and technology.
In July 2024, NLSIU, Bengaluru and Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas (SAM) had announced the first edition of the FinTech Moot Court Competition and invited applications from law colleges across India to register for the competition. It will be centered around the intersection of finance, technology and the regulatory challenges raised by rapid technological developments that fundamentally alter how one delivers and consumes financial services. It aims to address some of the key emerging issues in fintech regulation.
Problem: The problem for the moot deals with the regulations surrounding the use of blockchain technology and fractional ownership in the real estate market, particularly in relation to securities regulation, property rights, and the role of financial regulators.
NLS-SAM FinTech Conference
In addition to the moot court competition, the first edition of the NLS-SAM FinTech Conference will be held on September 14, 2024. The conference will have two panels.
- Theme for the first panel: ‘Data and Digital Credit: Unlocking Innovative Data Analytics Tools to Power Financial Solutions’;
- Theme for the Second panel: ‘FinTech Innovation and Regulation: Leveraging New Technologies’.
The moot and the conference together provide a unique space for deliberations on some of the most cutting-edge issues in the evolving landscape of fintech regulation in India. Over the course of these two days, leading practitioners and academicians will converge in the NLSIU campus to discuss the various challenges and opportunities in the intersections of finance and technology.
