- Debt recovery claims from initial instruction through to enforcement
- Bankruptcy and winding-up proceedings
- Statutory demands and associated applications
- Caveats, charging clauses and equitable mortgage matters
- Pre and post-appointment insolvency work
- Court documents, filing, service and procedural requirements
- Liaising with corporate clients, solicitors, courts and external parties
- Monitoring critical dates and ensuring matters continue moving forward
- Working closely with lawyers to determine the next practical step on each file
The firm acts predominantly for corporate clients and enjoys a high level of repeat business, giving you exposure to established client relationships and consistently interesting work.

The firm This is a genuinely stable and supportive boutique practice where people are valued and encouraged to build long-term careers.
