Contested Debt Claims - Fought And Won

Representing creditors in disputed debt claims on the small claims, fast and multi-tracks across England and Wales.

Not every debt is undisputed. When the debtor raises a defence, counterclaim or set-off, you need commercial litigators who will pressure-test the defence early and drive the claim to judgment - not run up costs on a case that should settle.

We act on debt claims of all sizes: small claims track for sums under £10,000, fast track up to £25,000, and multi-track above that. Our commercial litigation practice is a Legal 500 UK Leading Firm 2022, led by Warren Mark Heyman (SRA 275307), and our work has been featured in The Times.

Call 0330 808 0849 for a no-obligation discussion. We will assess the defence, tell you the merits honestly, and litigate hard where it makes commercial sense.

This sits within our Debt Recovery guidance.

What does Debt Recovery Litigation involve?
We plead the claim, respond to the defence and any counterclaim, manage disclosure and witness evidence, and represent you at hearings and trial. Where appropriate we apply for summary judgment or strike out to end weak defences early.
How much does Debt Recovery Litigation cost?
Costs depend on track and complexity. Small claims recover only limited costs; fast and multi-track claims allow substantial cost recovery from the losing party. We give a realistic budget at the outset and update it as the case develops.
How long does Debt Recovery Litigation take?
Small claims are typically decided within six to nine months. Fast track claims take nine to twelve months to trial. Multi-track claims can take twelve to eighteen months or more, though many settle well before trial once evidence is exchanged.
