What we are, and what we are not.

We publish this on the website, on the letterhead and in the footer of every email we send. A recipient who checks will find exactly what we told them.

What we are

  • A specialist arrears recovery and litigation support practice, acting only on written instruction from the party entitled to the debt.
  • Experienced in the drafting, service and evidencing of demands and statutory notices in residential and leasehold property.
  • Able to prepare a file to the standard a county court expects, including schedules, statements and exhibit bundles.
  • Able to instruct and manage a regulated firm or counsel on your behalf where a matter requires it.

What we are not

  • Not a firm of solicitors. We are not authorised or regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
  • Not advisers on the law. We do not provide reserved legal services. Where advice is needed, we tell you so and arrange it.
  • Not litigators. We do not conduct litigation and we do not exercise rights of audience — both are reserved activities under the Legal Services Act 2007.
  • Not enforcement agents. We are not certificated bailiffs and we do not attend at properties to take control of goods.
