About Us

Members of CCLA regularly obtain grants and other funding to research cutting-edge developments in important and timely areas of commercial law in Asia.

Another 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.
