		<title>Consultants and subcontractors</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1689541</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1689541</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of the Cox Yeats Podcast, Peter Barnard, Claudelle Pretorius and Chantal Mitchell explore the legal and practical complexities of consultants, subconsultants and tendering within South Africa's public procurement framework.<br />
<br />
The discussion begins with an overview of the constitutional principles underpinning government procurement before examining the different tender structures commonly used in the construction industry, including individual appointments, consultant-led appointments and turnkey projects. The speakers explain why government is increasingly favouring turnkey procurement to reduce administrative complexity and centralise project responsibility.<br />
<br />
The conversation then turns to the risks associated with subconsulting arrangements. The team discusses the legal implications of direct appointments versus subconsultant appointments, highlighting issues such as payment risk, professional indemnity insurance, contractual liability and the transfer of responsibility between consultants. They also examine the distinction between nominated and selected subcontractors under the JBCC suite of contracts and how these appointments affect the allocation of risk.<br />
<br />
Finally, the episode explores how consultants can structure themselves when tendering through incorporated entities, joint ventures or consortiums. The speakers outline the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, emphasising the importance of understanding joint and several liability, complying with procurement legislation, and implementing robust contractual risk management measures before participating in collaborative bids. ]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1689537</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The Legal Realities of Business Acquisitions: What Every Buyer and Seller Should Know<br />
<br />
Acquiring a business is more than just a financial transaction—it’s a strategic move that carries significant legal implications. While growth, market expansion, and synergies drive acquisitions, the legal framework supporting these deals is often the difference between a smooth transition and a costly dispute.<br />
<br />
Key legal considerations include:<br />
✅ Due diligence – Identifying hidden risks, from undisclosed liabilities to compliance issues.<br />
✅ Deal structure – Asset vs. share purchases impact tax, liabilities, and operational continuity.<br />
✅ Regulatory compliance – Industry-specific approvals and competition law considerations.<br />
✅ Contractual pitfalls – Warranties, indemnities, and restrictive covenants that shape post-acquisition stability.<br />
<br />
Whether you’re an investor, business owner, or advisor, understanding these complexities is critical to mitigating risk and ensuring a successful acquisition. ]]></description>
