#45 Timothy Borham & Vincent Berry - Protect Your Business, Plan for Growth

This week on the Emajin Golf Podcast: Beyond the 19th we’re joined by Tim Borham and Vincent Berry from Sajen Legal—longstanding members of the Emajin community and now Platinum members. With Sajen operating for over 30 years, and Tim and Vincent bringing 17 and 7 years of experience respectively, they offer powerful insights into protecting and enhancing your business in today’s evolving legal landscape.

 Vincent, who specialises in commercial litigation, and Tim, who focuses on the business side, share their expert strategies on safeguarding client relationships, conducting due diligence, and ensuring your business is built on solid legal foundations. From understanding contract terms to protecting assets, this episode is packed with real-world advice every business owner should hear.

They break down the importance of Running a Business Health Check—particularly for those looking to sell within the next 3–5 years—and highlight a real-life case where a sale fell through simply because a company didn’t know what assets it actually owned.

 The conversation also dives into:

·         The power of trademarks

·         The impact of AI in the legal world—its benefits, and where it still falls short

·         The increasing importance of human connection and solid shareholder agreements

·         Why we’re likely to see a rise in insolvencies, and how to protect yourself from unfair preference payments

 Key Takeaways:

1.      Know and regularly update your contract terms to protect your business.

2.      Don’t overlook trademarks—they can be one of your most valuable assets.

3.      AI is a helpful tool, but nothing replaces strong relationships and clear legal frameworks.
