Services
Commercial Litigation
We provide specialist advice across business disputes, offering pragmatic legal solutions tailored to commercial realities. Our approach prioritises cost-effective resolution through negotiation or mediation while maintaining readiness for litigation when necessary. With experience handling claims from 1,000 to multi-million pound cases, we guide clients through complex contractual conflicts with strategic clarity.
Debt Recovery
Our B2B debt recovery service combines legal expertise with commercial judgment. We assess debtors' financial position, recommend viable recovery strategies, and execute enforcement action when appropriate. We differentiate between debtors who cannot pay versus those refusing payment, providing realistic assessments of recovery prospects while managing client expectations.
Enforcement
We advise on all post-judgment enforcement options including asset tracing and seizure. Our guidance covers High Court Enforcement Officers, charging orders, and insolvency proceedings. We provide realistic cost estimates and recovery expectations, ensuring clients understand potential shortfalls in enforcement procedures.
European & International Debt Recovery
We handle cross-border debt recovery across the EU and globally through established international networks. Our services include adapting to evolving post-Brexit procedures, securing foreign judgments, and coordinating with local agents to enforce claims according to jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
We actively promote mediation and arbitration as alternatives to litigation. Our team advises on appropriate dispute resolution methods based on case specifics, helping clients avoid court costs while securing binding resolutions through formal ADR processes.
