Business debt recovery
Our Commercial Recoveries team is one of the most sophisticated specialist Recoveries teams in the UK. We have established long relationships with our commercial clients.
The profile of our client-base ranges from huge multi-national corporations to not-for-profit organisations to small owner-managed businesses.
Our experience in acting for commercial clients means that we are already aware of the practical implications involved in recovering business debt including the need to take a commercial approach to recovery. We understand the requirement to consider ongoing business relationships and are conscious of costs vs recovery at all times.
Main areas of practice
We cover the full range of debt work for business recoveries:

The team acts for a variety of clients. Our client-base ranges from huge multi-national corporations to not-for-profit organisations to small owner-managed businesses. We manage debt work relating to unjust enrichment claims, overpayment of salary/benefits in lieu, utility bills, goods and services in the IT sector, maintenance contracts, school fees and statutory undertaker/negligence claims amongst others.
Case oversight
We focus heavily on maximising our clients' return through early stage review processes to ensure that litigation is effectively deployed in the right circumstances. We provide review and advice services exploring alternatives to litigation. We provide guidance throughout the litigation process and we look for cost effective resolution.
Technology
Technology is vital to the delivery of our service. We have an excellent technology base which we invest in and develop. We operate a case management system which can produce comprehensive MI and improve efficiencies, saving costs for our clients. We use call recording software to record and monitor phone calls.
