Debt recovery tactics
The skill of a good Solicitor is in thinking outside the box and choosing the best route to collect its client's money. Our creative approach to recoveries maximises results for our clients, from the use of pre issue negotiations to choosing the appropriate legal proceedings best suited to your claim (often where we can adopting the use of Insolvency based recovery techniques). Our results offer testament to our innovative approach and the latest set can be found on our website.
Advanced collections software support
FWJ has a state of the art collections software system. It can easily integrate with a client’s own IT system to enable a swift transfer of information to enable immediate same-day action to be taken.
Understanding the bigger picture
There is no point spending money on the recovery process only to find that the debtor cannot afford to pay. At FWJ, we can assist in evaluating the wealth of any particular debtor before any action is taken. With debts of a significant size, this can be an important first step. There is no point throwing good money after bad.
No net cost to clients
We understand that cost is often a vital issue for our clients. However legal proceedings need not necessarily be expensive. We always aim to ensure that the debtor pays our legal costs in full – meaning no net cost to our client of the legal claim. Our results table show just how effective this approach is when combined with the use of the right recovery methods.
Links to the ABL Industry
As a bi-product of its recruitment links, FWJ have specialised in the ABL industry since first setting up in 2002 and is proud to name many leading factors amongst its client base. These links have proved invaluable to the firm’s recruitment and ABL clients in both advising on any existing facilities in place and in providing mutually beneficial client introductions.
Links with Insolvency Practitioners
Over the years, FWJ has built up strong relationships with Insolvency Practitioners (IPs), which enables the quick and effective investigation and recovery of your money out of a Liquidation. In the current economic climate, the ability to act decisively in insolvency situations can make all the difference as to whether you will successfully recover what is owed to you.
Links with specialised counsel
FWJ have the support and expertise of specialised counsel in the recruitment sector. This proves invaluable, whether advising on particularly complex issues at the early stages of litigation or in presenting your claim at trial.
A friendly service
Whilst we recognise all of the above are important to our clients, we also recognise that our clients want to deal with “normal” people. FWJ was founded ten years ago by Partners disillusioned by working at a large city practice and the obvious lack of understanding it had as to the importance placed by clients on being able to relate to the lawyers instructed. As a firm, we are all approachable, friendly, available at short notice and understand the need to relate to the issues our clients face.
