In this episode of The Socius Podcast, we’re joined by Celeste Norman, Principal and Founder of Rayne Legal, to unpack how legal and compliance strategy can become a real growth driver for founders, especially in Australia’s highly regulated financial services space.
With deep in-house experience and a unique approach to legal problem-solving, Celeste explains why legal shouldn’t sit on the side-lines. She shares how integrating compliance into everyday business processes creates efficiency, reduces risk, and supports long-term vision, rather than stalling it.
We also dive into the rise of fractional legal services, the personal liability directors often overlook, and the challenge founders face balancing fast growth with financial stability. Celeste offers clear, practical insights for business owners who want to scale sustainably without cutting corners.
Whether you're building a start-up, sitting on a board, or just navigating risk in a complex space, this conversation will shift the way you think about legal strategy.
