Have you got a debt you need to recover?
Speak to our debt collection & recovery lawyers in Auckland today.
Our lawyers have the experience and expertise necessary to handle all types of debt recovery matters. No matter if your debt is large or small, personal or business, disputed or undisputed, or owed by a debtor who is solvent or insolvent, we can help you to achieve the best outcome reasonably possible in the circumstances.
Sometimes that outcome is full, or part payment of the amount owed. In other cases, the outcome involves working with the debtor to achieve an acceptable arrangement for payment of the debt owing. If neither payment or arrangement is possible, we will give you the guidance you need to consider the appropriate next steps.
If litigation becomes necessary, our expert debt recovery lawyers can prepare, file, and serve District or High Court proceedings for payment of the amount owed. We can then assist with obtaining a successful judgement for you, and enforcing said judgement via sale orders, charging orders, and various other enforcement methods available.
If the debtor is insolvent, we can assist with liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings. We can also provide advice and assist with insolvency processes, including receivership, voluntary administration, and security enforcement. More information regarding our liquidation and bankruptcy services can be found on our Insolvency Lawyers page here.
We understand that debt recovery matters involve our clients taking the risk of “throwing good money after bad”. Our goal is to minimise that risk as much as possible, by taking a tailored, realistic, and cost-effective approach to recovering your money.
