Expert Legal Support for Debt Recovery
Outstanding debts can undermine cash flow, disrupt operations, and place unnecessary pressure on a business’s financial position. When payments are delayed or withheld, taking prompt and proportionate action is critical to protecting commercial stability and avoiding further loss.
Lyon Croft Law advises businesses on effective debt recovery strategies, combining legal precision with a commercially focused approach. We support clients at every stage of the recovery process, from pre-action steps through to formal enforcement, ensuring debts are pursued efficiently, professionally, and in accordance with UK debt recovery regulations.
Core Services
Strategic Debt Recovery Planning
Effective debt recovery begins with a clear assessment of the debtor position and the most appropriate recovery route. We advise businesses on early-stage debt recovery strategy, including pre-action correspondence, payment demands, and commercial negotiations. Our aim is to secure payment swiftly while preserving business relationships where possible and avoiding unnecessary escalation.
Pre-Action Debt Collection
We assist clients with formal pre-legal steps designed to prompt payment and strengthen recovery prospects. This includes issuing compliant letters before action, engaging with debtors to negotiate repayment terms, and advising on the likely success, timing, and cost of different debt recovery options under UK law.
Court Proceedings and Enforcement
Where informal recovery is unsuccessful, we pursue legal action to recover outstanding commercial debts. Our services include issuing county court claims, obtaining judgments, and advising on enforcement measures such as High Court enforcement, asset seizure, and charging orders. We focus on proportionate legal action designed to maximise recovery while controlling cost.
Insolvency-Based Debt Recovery
In appropriate cases, insolvency procedures can provide an effective mechanism to recover unpaid debts. We advise on the use of statutory demands, winding-up petitions against companies, and bankruptcy proceedings against individuals, assessing whether insolvency action is commercially viable and strategically appropriate.
Alternative Routes to Recovery
Not every debt requires litigation. Where suitable, we advise on alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or negotiated settlement, particularly in contract-related disputes. These approaches can offer a faster, more cost-effective route to recovery while reducing legal exposure and preserving commercial relationships.
