Sharon Chandra: Prenups can be challenged
Q: What should couples do to prepare and protect themselves when entering a marriage?
Get independent legal advice before signing any agreement, treat the prenup as a working document, and regularly review it as circumstances change to avoid future challenges.
Andrew Bascand & Sue Walker: Harbour Asset Management Co-CEO and Harbour Asset Management Senior Manager discuss energy payments
Q: What are the ways that investors can participate in this electrification opportunity?
