## Resource

Most founders don't see legal risks as a growth lever—until a deal falls through, a contract unravels, or due diligence exposes costly gaps. Corporate lawyer Barbara Neilan works with ambitious business owners on scaling, investment, and exit readiness. She shares the hidden legal traps that reduce enterprise value, the commercial contracts every growing business needs, and how to prepare for due diligence before buyers start asking questions. This conversation delivers a practical roadmap for turning legal strategy into a competitive advantage—so you can protect what you've built and scale without costly surprises. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads the conversation.
