Regardless of how effective your credit control procedures are, there are likely to be occasions where debt litigation issues arise during the collection of overdue debts.

Flint Bishop’s approach to debt litigation is always pragmatic. Our aim is to provide you with straightforward advice, enabling you to understand the best options available to you based on both your legal and commercial interests.

Our dispute resolution team is ranked in Tier 1 of the Legal 500 for debt litigation, which means that where any genuine disputes are raised by the debtor, you will have access to one of the most respected teams in the Midlands. The team is led by Chief Executive, Qamer Ghafoor, who is one of only a handful of ‘elite lawyers’ in the region.

Our debt litigation team is one of the largest in the region and we are fully equipped to deal with your complex and contested debts, whether this involves just the occasional small debt or multiple debts of significant value.

Sometimes debt disputes can arise from accounting issues such as allocation of payments, issues with orders and deliveries. Our debt litigation team are experts at dealing with such cases, not least because of the time we take at the outset to understand your business and processes. On the rare occasions where you may be faced with a counterclaim, we are also experienced in defending clients against claims for damages relating to alleged breaches of contract and similar matters.

Our ethos is to ensure that your commercial interests are always at the forefront of our advice. We are also happy to discuss flexible fee arrangements for contested cases, including reduced hourly rates, fixed fees and no-recovery-no-fee agreements.

Unlike most firms, as part of our commitment to our clients we are also able to support your debt litigation cases as part of a wider debt recovery retainer arrangement should this be of interest to you.
