Role of CS under Competition Law

• Competition law in India is an important aspect
  of the legal studies that the Professionals like
  Company Secretaries need to master. 
• Company Secretaries need to be fully aware of the
  legal implications and need to be equipped to
  advice companies .
• As the national boundaries disappear when it
  comes to trade and commerce, there is an increase
  in competition and more pressure on organizations
  to become leaner with stress on higher efficiency
  and achieving technological excellence.
• In such corporate scenarios Company Secretaries
  need to balance the requirements of business by
  complying with the legalities.
• Professionals like Company Secretaries are
  called upon to look into the finance and
  accounting, audit reports, budgeting, materials
  management, commercial and overall
  administration, besides the standard legal and
  secretarial functions.

Role of CS under Competition Law cont

• With the opening up of the economy and increasing
  competition, there are many activities such as
  joint collaboration, foreign collaboration,
  takeovers, acquisitions, mergers, information
  technology and associated cyber laws which are
  newer areas where legal and statutory provisions
  need to be looked into and companies are turning
  for advice and guidance from Company Secretaries
  in such aspects. Sustaining market confidence,
  settling of commercial disputes are new focus
  areas where company secretaries need to show
  their competence and build their expertise in.
• In this regard the ICSI institute has
  considerable foresight in offering its expert
  services to the government bodies. They also
  guide practicing and working CS professionals in
  staying updated with the latest changes in the
  legal and statutory scene in the country
  continuing education programmes are also formed
  to keep Company Secretaries updated in latest
  developments in laws, statutes, corporate
  governance and other focus areas.
