In this episode, we sit down with James d’Apice, the commercial litigator behind the beloved podcast Coffee and a Case Note. Known for serving up short, sharp legal insights over a long black, James brings his sharp wit, humility, and storytelling chops to a longer yarn with Matthew.

Key Takeaways:

• The real-life tension between director duties and day-to-day business reality.
• How “co-owner conflicts” often come down to missed values and unspoken expectations.
• Why James believes humility, not just legal knowledge is the key to resolving disputes.

With humour, honesty, and heart, this episode goes into the deeper lessons that make us better lawyers, business owners, and humans.
