Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur, will hold an online symposium on 8 December 2026 on how secured transactions and trade finance can widen access to credit for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. The university’s Centre for WTO & WIPO Studies is organising it as part of UNCITRAL Asia-Pacific Days 2026.
The programme includes a panel on the future of MSME finance and technical sessions for selected papers. The university’s brochure identifies receivables and other movable assets as potential collateral and sets out themes including the creation and priority of security interests, creditor remedies and cross-border enforcement.
For Indian lawyers advising smaller businesses or their lenders, the discussion offers a comparative view of how assets such as inventory and receivables can support borrowing, and where questions of priority and enforceability can arise.
Lawyers can register to attend without submitting a paper. HNLU provides a separate participation form, which asks for affiliation, designation and a WhatsApp contact number. The brochure does not specify session times or a joining platform.
