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.

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.

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. ]]> Business Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:07:00 +0200 0 0 Consultants and subcontractors 0 0 Cox Yeats full 27:41 The Cox Yeats Podcast https://iono.fm/e/1689537 https://iono.fm/e/1689537
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.

Key legal considerations include:
✅ Due diligence – Identifying hidden risks, from undisclosed liabilities to compliance issues.
✅ Deal structure – Asset vs. share purchases impact tax, liabilities, and operational continuity.
✅ Regulatory compliance – Industry-specific approvals and competition law considerations.
✅ Contractual pitfalls – Warranties, indemnities, and restrictive covenants that shape post-acquisition stability.

Whether you’re an investor, business owner, or advisor, understanding these complexities is critical to mitigating risk and ensuring a successful acquisition. ]]> Business Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:03:00 +0200 0 0 Acquisition of a Business 0 0 Cox Yeats full 17:55 The Cox Yeats Podcast https://iono.fm/e/1689528 https://iono.fm/e/1689528
