How we will help you with commercial debt recovery
We often begin by sending a carefully drafted letter of claim to the debtor, ensuring it meets the strict legal requirements. Failure to comply with the pre-action protocol could result in a claim being dismissed in court. A letter of claim from a well-known law firm is often enough to encourage the debtor to pay you any outstanding debt.
If the client refuses to pay the outstanding debt or disputes the debt we will pursue all available options to secure a payment, assuming it is proportionate to the amount owed to you. Our collective experience means that we are adept at identifying the best way forward when it comes to dealing with debtors, whether that’s proposing a sit-down negotiation, taking them to court or working alongside the Insolvency team to issue a winding up petition.
For larger businesses that have an ongoing commercial debt recovery requirement, we have a bespoke debt recovery service. Our commercial debt recovery solicitors will act as an extension of your finance team, following existing processes or advising you on new approaches to commercial debt recovery. As a rapidly expanding team, we are well placed to scale with your business as it grows. Whether you are struggling with a growing number of overdue invoices or dealing with more complex debts disputes, our flexible approach to debt recovery ensures we can meet your needs at every stage.
How we do things differently
At Harper James, we take a unique approach to commercial debt recovery, one that goes beyond simply collecting outstanding debts. Below are some of the benefits you can expect with our approach to debt recovery:
Transparent pricing
If not managed properly debt recovery can be costly, especially if the debt is disputed or the debtor is based in another country. Our business dispute lawyers will help you by actively managing costs throughout the lifespan of your dispute. More importantly, our transparent pricing, subscription plans and remote operating model allows us to provide expert legal advice from partner lawyers at a lower cost than most traditional law firms.
Proactive risk management
We also provide proactive advice to help prevent future issues. By reviewing your contracts and agreements, we can reduce the risk of disputes and make the recovery process easier. With our hands on, personalised approach, we don’t just recover your debt, we help protect your business for the future.
Direct access to senior lawyers
An experienced debt recovery solicitor will handle your case, with no important tasks passed on to junior members of staff. You will also have direct contact with your solicitor, with no intermediaries involved. This gives you the ability to act quickly and adapt as a dispute evolves or meet important deadlines.
