⚖️ Guiding, Not Just Enforcing — Michael Dillon on Protecting Irish Business with Integrity
Michael Dillon has practiced law across continents — from Irish courts to Caribbean parliaments to legal towers in Dubai.
But what brought him home wasn’t a job. It was purpose.
Today, as Director of Legal at the Corporate Enforcement Authority (CEA), he’s helping Irish businesses stay compliant — not through fear, but through fairness.
In this episode of AIBF Business Talk, Michael shares:
📬 Why most enforcement starts with a letter, not a lawsuit
🧭 How emotional intelligence plays a key role in legal leadership
📚 What every business owner and director needs to understand
🛠️ How the CEA applies a “graduated response” — firm, but fair
🌍 His legal journey across three continents
👟 And why running five miles before work keeps his thinking clear
His message is simple: “Know your duties. Stay compliant. And don’t wait for the letter.”
A must-listen for company directors, founders, and anyone who signs the dotted line.
