Why choose us and not another firm?
Commercial acumen
The real skill of a great litigator is in identifying which types of recovery action are suitable for the particular circumstances of a case - and deciding what to do on the borderline claims. This makes the difference between a quick solution to a claim with the ability to recover costs in full, or a much more protracted and unnecessary set of “traditional” legal proceedings.
FWJ has the experience and knowledge of your industry. We know how best to use that know-how to your advantage. We can quickly spot a genuine defence from a “try on”.
Results
As a result of monitoring the results of all our debt recovery cases we conduct for our clients, we know that our results are second to none. Read more...
Cost
We understand that cost is often a vital issue for our clients. Whilst legal proceedings are not necessarily cheap to run, our tactical awareness often means that cases are settled at little or no cost to our clients at all.
Litigation Expertise
If claims do become defended, we have the litigation expertise to conduct proceedings to maximise your chances of success. Our team excel’s in all aspects of litigation, from the drafting of detailed witness statements to conducting settlement negotiations with our opponents. We have many years of experience in all types of litigation which benefit our clients enormously in their respective cases.
Relationships with Third Parties
It is very important to know that the lawyer you instruct is supported by the most able and appropriate third parties – from barristers to process servers, fraud investigators to accountants – effectively whoever is needed to ensure that the right team is acting for you. We have the relationships you will need.
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. Andy Wilks founded Francis Wilks & Jones LLP ten years ago having become disillusioned 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.
