Debt recovery is about getting back money you are owed, whether an unpaid invoice, a loan or a judgment. A barrister can advise on the right pre-action steps, statutory demands, court claims and enforcement, and can act for those defending a debt claim too.
A barrister will assess whether the debt is disputed, the prospects of recovery, and the most cost-effective route, and represent you at court. Through Direct Access you can instruct a barrister directly, without going through a solicitor first.
