Quarterly Newsletter September 2026


Welcome to Issue 53 of Colleagues – The Official SV Partners Quarterly Newsletter.

Leading the third issue of 2026, Frank O’Neill (Director | Mackay) takes a closer look at a recent liquidation that exposed the dangers of assuming a PPSR registration guarantees protection. The case serves as a timely reminder that ownership and security interests are only as strong as the underlying registration and perfection requirements.

Matthew Bookless (Director | Gold Coast) explores whether a future recession could drive corporate insolvency rates even higher. Examining historical insolvency trends alongside consumer confidence data, Matthew considers what the past may reveal about the risks facing Australian businesses in the years ahead.

We hope you enjoy this issue.
