This week’s Talking Law podcast is the first of a two-part series with Meena Wahi, where we talk all about the newest member of the Aspect Group of Companies: Aspect SME Insurance. In this first episode, Meena and our host, Joanna Oakey, share why they started this new business, the power of integrating legal and insurance services, and how insurance plays an important part in risk management for a business. Don’t miss the second part of this series on the common mistakes that SMEs make when dealing with insurance and discuss real cases studies.

For most business owners, their most valuable asset is their business – but how can business owners maximise the value they can extract out of their business at exit? One often overlooked area is the impact of tax. So in this 2-part series, we are focusing squarely on the subject of tax, and what business owners need to know to end up with the most cash in their pocket.

In this episode, Joshua Taylor (Managing Director of Taylor Insolvency) and our host Joanna Oakey talk about what you need to do when you or your clients find their business in financial distress. Josh shares a number of real anecdotes and lessons learned from them. Joshua’s company, Taylor Insolvency, helps stakeholders in the insolvency process — from Directors to Individuals, Accountants, Solicitors, Creditors, Employees, and Customers. They aim to make liquidations as simple as possible in order to help businesses through tough times to happier times.

In this episode, we talk to Rod Hore from HHMC Global about using shares as a talent retention strategy in professional service businesses. We examine what exactly makes shares great for retaining talents, how to set this up for your organisation, and the impacts of having your employees hold shares. We also dig into other alternative strategies you can use besides giving employees shares of the company.

In this episode, we talk about proof of use of trademarks in the United States. Aspect Legal’s very own Robyn Purdy is on board to tackle this subject and the things about it that businesses usually get wrong.

In today’s podcast, we have Paolo Lencioni from APL Accountants on board to talk all about the common issues that occur when you’re starting or joining a vet business with a partner, and how to deal with those.
