Debt Recovery
Recovering money you are owed quickly and cost-effectively, from letters of demand through to judgment and enforcement.
About Debt Recovery
Unpaid invoices affect cash flow and take time away from running your business. The sooner a debt is pursued, the better the prospects of recovering it.
We help businesses recover outstanding debts using the most proportionate approach — often resolving matters with a well-drafted letter of demand, and escalating to court proceedings and enforcement only where needed.
What we can help with
Letters of demand
Clear, firm demands that often resolve a debt without further action.
Court proceedings
Commencing and running recovery claims in the appropriate court.
Enforcement
Turning a judgment into payment through practical enforcement options.
How we work with you
Every matter is different, but our process is consistent: clear advice, a realistic plan and regular updates.
- 1. Review the debt and supporting documents
- 2. Issue a letter of demand
- 3. Commence proceedings if unpaid
- 4. Enforce judgment and recover funds
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the complexity of the dispute, the court and whether the matter settles. Many disputes resolve through negotiation or mediation well before trial. We give you a realistic timeline at the outset and update it as the matter progresses.
Often, yes. Negotiation, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution are usually faster and less costly than a trial. We assess early whether an out-of-court outcome is achievable and in your interest.
We provide a written costs estimate before any work begins and keep you informed if that estimate changes. Where appropriate, we can discuss staged or capped fee arrangements.
Any contracts, correspondence, invoices and notes relevant to your matter, along with a short timeline of events. If you are unsure whether something is relevant, bring it.
