Making business happen

Fast, cost-effective legal advice to help you recover money you are owed.

Talk to our Commercial Debt Recovery Team.

Straightforward, clear and commercial advice when you need it the most.

Unpaid invoices and late payment put real pressure on cash flow. Whether you are owed a few thousand pounds by a single customer or managing a book of overdue accounts, getting the right commercial advice quickly improves your chances of recovering what you’re owed, and keeps costs proportionate to the sum involved.

Acuity Law’s commercial debt recovery team acts for businesses, creditors and lenders recovering debts of all sizes, from straightforward one-off invoices to more complex or disputed claims. We focus on the most cost-effective route to payment, escalating only where escalation genuinely improves the prospects of recovery.

We understand that debt recovery is rarely just a legal exercise, it’s also a commercial and relationship decision. We will work closely with you, often as an extension of your in-house team, to agree a strategy that fits the size of the debt, the importance of the customer relationship, and your appetite for cost and risk, before taking any action in your name.

Our services include pre-action letters before claim, statutory demands, court proceedings for debt recovery, enforcement of judgments, and recovery of debts owed by parties based outside the UK.

If your matter involves a company that is insolvent, facing insolvency, or where you need to enforce secured lending, visit our Restructuring and Insolvency page instead.
