Litigation

The team at Beeston Shenton Solicitors have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in B2B debt recovery steps to aid your business.

We provide a considered approach to speed up B2B debt recovery collections whilst minimising customer conflict and reducing the risk to your business.

Our service is tailored to match the individual needs of your business and we pride ourselves in offering bespoke, cost effective solutions to your debt recovery needs – from simply chasing late payers to legal proceedings including all county court and insolvency processes.

We are totally dedicated to helping you improve cash flow and increase the profitability of your businesses and we use the latest in Debt Recovery software enabling us to process both pre-legal and legal collections promptly and efficiently.

Our success rate for collections is excellent and as a result, we make no charge for our pre-legal B2B debt recovery services unless we recover what you are owed. In other words we are only paid if you are paid! If we are successful, then we will charge a percentage of the recovered sum. We will use where appropriate the Late Payment of Commercial Debt Regulations which will not only maximise your recoveries but also in some cases all the B2B debt recovery process to be cost-neutral to you.

Our focus is on recovering B2B debts quickly and without the need for court processes. However, if court action is required, we will discuss the procedures and agree charges with you in advance and ensure our costs are at all times kept proportionate to the value of the sum owed to you. We will endeavour to agree fixed fees with you and will agree fees on a case by case basis.

We can also look to implement simple credit control processes and procedures to reduce your exposure to bad debt before they happen.

We can advise on business terms and conditions to make sure that they are easier to enforce and fully protect your business.

If you or your business needs help or advice with Debt Recovery Law, Beeston Shenton Solicitors will support you with honest and professional solutions.
