Michael Richards

Senior Associate

Have you ever tried recovering overdue invoices? If you have, you’ll know tedious it can be – and often without reward.

Mike and his team have a 97% recovery success rate, including over £2 million for one client over several weeks.

While many people avoid talking about the D-word, most businesses are sitting on debt which could be money in their bank. Some companies are owed a significant amount and few recover the money owed without a great deal of stress. For one logistics client, Mike’s skills and experience increased their net recovery by 25% in one year. He is an expert negotiator who does not damage valuable relationships. His tried and tested process works. Quite often legal costs are not even paid by our client, as the debtor pays.

Mike and his team of commercial debt recovery lawyers work closely with their litigation colleagues. Together they provide a seamless, cradle to grave recovery service, under one roof – something a standard debt collection agency simply cannot offer.

Let Michael handle your query.
