Mark J Smith | MBA, Juris Doctor Founder & Chief Story Teller, CourtList

Mark J Smith built CourtList on a single observation: lenders, collections teams, and credit managers only see risk after the fact — not as it's approaching. By the time a debtor shows up as a problem, the options are already narrowing. His answer is the CourtList Method — an early-warning system that tracks court hearing and case patterns to risk-score counterparties over time. It's used by the ATO, state government agencies, banks, credit committees, and debt recovery teams to spot financial distress early, secure payment before priority disputes, and avoid the write-offs that come from acting too late. Mark holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Sydney and an MBA. His background spans finance, insolvency, construction, hospitality, and large-scale land development — he has sat at every seat at the table. The bigger picture he's working toward: transparent debt collection — where what is owed, why it's owed, and what happens next is visible to everyone, so bad actors can't game the system. See clearly. Move decisively.
