How to Avoid a Fall From Grace manages it effortlessly, combining technical excellence with practicality and accessibility in one very helpful read."
The book is laid out as a guide to educate leaders on the Australian legal system as it relates to directors and officers so that they can recall specific, legal rules at critical times. Bartholomeusz reminds her audience that beyond just knowing and assessing legal risks, the understanding of those risks is what will allow for more confident and mindful decisions.
In the book Bartholomeusz notes, "It is important to remember that being a director of any company comes with certain obligations and may even give rise to personal liability for decisions made while undertaking this role.
