Public company risk management: Insurance & governance essentials

On the latest episode of the CSE Podcast, host Melissa Robertson sits down with Mert Guler, Partner, and Sean Gibson, Senior Client Executive and National Practice Leader, Transactional Risks, at Purves Redmond Limited, to explore how emerging public companies can strengthen governance and manage risk as they grow.

“It’s risk first, risk management first, insurance after.” – Mert Guler, Partner, Purves Redmond Limited

Drawing on their experience advising companies across technology, life sciences and mining, Mert and Sean discuss how early planning can help businesses build investor confidence and avoid costly surprises. From cybersecurity gaps to insurance requirements that could delay an acquisition, they explain why risk management belongs in the conversation well before a major milestone.

In this episode:

• Building governance and risk management practices that fit your company’s stage, resources and growth plans.
• Understanding cybersecurity exposures, contractual responsibilities and the changing risks of moving from exploration into mine development.
• Preparing for acquisitions and U.S. listings, including the insurance costs and timelines that can affect a transaction.

For founders, executives and boards, this conversation offers a practical starting point: identify the risks that could materially affect your business and involve trusted advisors early.

Watch the full episode to hear Mert and Sean’s perspectives on protecting your business and preparing for its next stage of growth.
