Public Sector Debt Recovery

Our highly skilled debt recovery team recovers commercial and consumer debts of all sizes for public sector organisations, businesses and individuals. Our services range from high-volume, pre-legal debt collection to formal legal and insolvency action.

Our team is structured to combine the advantages of a cost-effective debt collection service with the expertise of our wider commercial disputes team.

We will work closely with you to achieve the highest recovery rates and best possible outcomes. We aim to recover debts quickly and efficiently without the need for formal legal action, but if insolvency or court proceedings are unavoidable or are in your interest, we have a proven track record of obtaining results.

We are responsive, easy to work with and cost-conscious. We are transparent on costs and offer fixed fees in many cases.
