Listen "#3 — The Must Dos to Avoid Catastrophic Fails - Stipe Vuleta"

There are many people who can provide guidance and advice on what TO do to scale a company. And of course many are credible in doing so.
However there’s few that have seen thousands of examples of businesses not making it. Businesses failing. Partnerships that disintegrated. Finances that were poorly managed.
Culture’s that led to the downfall of the organisation.
Stipe Vuleta has seen it all. And whilst his legal expertise is solvent and insolvent restructuring, and he’s seen thousands of cases over 16 years. He’s also the Managing Director of Chamberlains Law Firm and has led their growth from an office of 11 FTE to 120 FTE and 13 divisions in 4 years.
