Debt Recovery & Insolvency

Recovering your monies pre and post insolvency

We are recognised as a leading debt recovery practice, top ranked in the Legal 500 (tier 1).

We have achieved this ranking by delivering successful, efficient and cost-effective debt recovery services for our clients.

We have developed bespoke software that enables our clients to instruct us electronically if they wish, advising details of the debt and uploading supporting invoices. This automatically generates letters of demand.

It is a fast and seamless process.

Once demands have been made in many cases the debtor then negotiates, realising that to dispute liability will increase the debt with interest at 8% (court rate) and costs. We are highly experienced in negotiations.

Where there is a dispute, we advise as to the quickest and most cost effective method of resolving the dispute, i.e. service of a statutory demand, mediation or court led proceedings and seeking summary judgement.

Where we obtain judgement, we enforce that by seizing and selling assets and taking over bank accounts. If necessary we make individuals bankrupt and liquidate companies and use the enforcement powers we then have under the Insolvency Act, which enable us to access bank accounts, the debtors solicitors files and cross examine the debtor and associates.

Our work is generally on hourly rates, but we will consider other arrangements.

Additional services

In addition to our legal services we run a networking community, with events and seminars ensuring that our clients are kept up to date with latest developments and meet with other professionals in the debt recovery field.

Our team

In disputes we are supported by experienced litigation lawyers who advise you as to the best and most cost-effective way of resolving disputes.

We work with litigation funders and After The Event Insurers, to reduce the risks in litigation.

Where it is necessary to use insolvency, we have a dedicated team, with many years expertise. We have dealt with many debtors who have hidden assets only for us to find them. We use insolvency powers to interrogate directors and others connected to transactions and obtain bank records and trace the movement of monies. We seek the disqualification of rogue directors.


In accordance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s guidelines on transparency, further details and information on our fees can be found on our Regulatory Information Page.
