Elena Kim didn’t just become one of New Zealand’s most influential lawyers—she built her career helping founders exit well. From navigating M&A deals to managing complex stakeholder dynamics, she’s seen what breaks deals, what builds value, and what founders often learn too late.
In this episode, we unpack the human side of selling a business, the real risks hidden in your shareholder agreements, and why the right legal strategy isn’t about avoiding conflict—it’s about planning for it. Whether you’re preparing to sell or just thinking about what comes next, this conversation is a roadmap for navigating exits with clarity, control, and confidence.
