Making Corporate Law Make Sense: Unshackling Corporate Law From Elitism

Professor Garth Stevens, Deputy Vice-Chancellor: People Development and Culture, invites you to the Inaugural Lecture of Professor Tshepo Mongalo.

The simple language drafting movement in recent times in the corporate law field has shown the simplicity and accessibility of many corporate law transactions, previously thought of as being too complex for ordinary (and aspiring) entrepreneurs to engage in. The lecture presented by Professor Tshepo Mongalo, Professor of Corporate Law at Wits School of Law, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management intends to demonstrate that there is a massive need for the transfer of corporate law power to the people. The lecture posits that the first step consists in incorporating corporate law as part of every higher education programme in the effort to integrate ‘innovation and entrepreneurship’ education curriculum. The lecture shows that several corporate law transactions have distinct benefits and are accessible to ordinary entrepreneurs in a developing country like South Africa.
