Arete Podcast With Richard Triggs

In this episode of the Arete Executive Podcast, I speak with Vincent Berry, Director at Sajen Legal, about how business owners and executives can better protect their organisations from legal risk. Vincent shares his journey from young lawyer to firm director, why commercial litigation and insolvency are such critical areas right now, and how business leaders can mitigate risks with the right contracts, due diligence, and proactive legal strategies. We explore post-COVID legal trends, including the rise in insolvencies, shareholder disputes, and compliance pressures from the ATO.
