Debt Recovery

Our litigation team are able to assist with all types of debt recovery. Whilst our expertise cover all aspects of contractual and non-contractual pecuniary obligations, we offer a particular specialism in recovery of sums arising from property related obligations.

Our litigation team are able to assist with all types of debt recovery.

We adopt a three stage approach to recovery of sums owing for claimant clients:

1 - Assessing the Debt

We will first conduct a fact finding exercise to ascertain the nature and extent of the debt. This will include examination of contractual documentation, if applicable, together with a detailed account from our client of the situation creating the liability.

We aim, having concluded that exercise, to provide you with a synopsis of the options available to you. These typically include direct correspondence with the debtor, alternative dispute resolution or a court claim.

2 - Securing Judgment

Should satisfaction of the liability not be forthcoming using the first two options noted above, we will lodge a claim with the County Court (or, if appropriate, the High Court) and conduct the ensuing litigation on your behalf.

3 - Enforcing the Judgment

Upon obtaining judgment we will then provide detailed advice in connection with your options for enforcement and recovery. This may, depending on the circumstances of the debtor, include a return to the Court for a further order enforcing your judgment.

We also act for clients who have received demands or been served with court claims by alleged creditors. We will, in that situation, carefully analyse the debt claimed and provide advice on how best to defend the claim if suitable to do so.
