Thanks to all those that provided feedback on our first issue which will enable us to continue to enhance the newsletter. We are for the moment continuing with the eco paper trial and will reassess its effectiveness after the first few issues. Thank you to all those that congratulated us on this move.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a budget briefing presented by the PM, Hon John Howard MP. The conversations at this function showed some concern for our industry given the continuing economic strength. However, this increment provides confidence and anticipation that provides the opportunity for greater risk taking, and with this greater risk you have the opportunity for failure. Success in business is not just provided by a good economy, it requires many other factors and a failure to recognise this will result in failure. Consequently good turnaround and insolvency practitioners are always busy, regardless of the underlying economic conditions. Happily I can say we have not been idle.

Some fantastic news came with the recent decision of David Watson formerly of Bentley’s/Cor Cordiss to leave that partnership and join us. In the spirit of our name we do not have Partners but Associates and consequently David has joined us as a Senior Associate. David brings with him a significant level of experience and knowledge and we look forward to being able to provide this expertise to our clients.

The determination of this Firm is to grow to enable us to provide the standard and consistency of service in our chosen field of Forensic, Insolvency and Turnaround. We are and will remain FIT practitioners.

We have again provided a variety of articles on a range of current and relevant topics which I’m sure that you will find of interest.

Please enjoy the read and I look forward to catching up in due course.
