Quarterly Newsletter June 2025

Welcome to Issue 48 of Colleagues - The Official SV Partners Quarterly Newsletter.

Leading the second issue for 2025, Dr Lézelle Jacobs (ARITA), Jason Porter (Executive Director) and Stephen Walton (Manager) from our Sydney office, reflect on their panel discussion at the 2025 ARITA National Conference, where they explored the ethical challenges bankruptcy trustees face when dealing with vulnerable bankrupts. Their discussion highlights the importance of balancing legal responsibilities with empathy and moral imperatives.

Biljana Vuckovic (Manager) from our Melbourne office, breaks down how a Personal Insolvency Agreement (PIA) offers an alternative to bankruptcy for those in financial hardship. Learn who qualifies, how the process works, and what benefits or limitations PIAs can have, especially for individuals seeking flexible solutions while protecting key assets.

We hope you enjoy this issue.
