Effective debt recovery

We understand the cash flow difficulties that can be caused by bad debtors. We also know how hard and confronting it can be for you to have to become your own credit department and collect from those who owe you money.

Serial bad debtors often know the limitations of debt collectors, and ignore debt collectors and informal demands for payment, knowing that they are a toothless tiger.

Often all it takes is the formal legal letter of demand to get a debt paid, because serial bad debtors also know that enforcement action may include bankruptcy proceedings, winding up proceedings and the risk that the bailiff will come knocking on their door, seizing their property and ultimately putting it up for public sale to satisfy a judgment debt.

We provide efficient and cost-effective debt recovery services regardless of the size of the debt being recovered. We act for individuals and companies and trustees who need to claim debts from bad debtors and also negotiate payment plans for repayment of debts.

Because each debt recovery case is unique, we assess each new matter to discern what method of recovery is most likely to achieve the best outcome for you. We do this before we start incurring substantial costs so that our goals are aligned.

Our extensive experience in issuing demands, commencing proceedings in all Courts across Australia and even overseas, obtaining judgment and seeking enforcement has helped many clients recover their long outstanding debts that sometimes they thought would never be paid at all.

We work predominantly for creditors in litigation proceedings (those making the demand to be paid) but we can also assist debtors who are facing demands or have been served with Court documents and who believe the debt is not properly incurred or where there are reasons it should not be paid at all.

Review for Morgan Solomon

Morgan Solomon

"What we appreciated most about working with Morgan Solomon was his extraordinary ability to absorb and process information on his feet and cut through peripheral issues. A good lawyer needs to remain calm, collected and outcome focussed throughout a tough negotiation. Morgan ticked all of these boxes, and more. He’s also a wonderful guy and really easy to work with."

Review for Brandon Hetherington

Brandon Hetherington

"Brandon and the team and SHL were excellent to deal with. Their advice was clear and articulated in a manner that I could understand. They worked to some critical deadlines that I had which was very important. I would highly recommend and will certainly use their services again in the future. I would like to recommend Brandon Hetherington, Brandon has been amazing. Without his professionalism I probably would of going crazy. He explained everything in layman terms, which was great. Thanks once again, if you need a lawyer this is the place to go."

Review for Craig Hollett

Craig Hollett

"I recently employed Craig Hollett when my partner required defence in a complex criminal matter. From the outset of this very difficult journey, Craig’s professional and approachable manner put me at ease. Navigating foreign legal processes was incredibly unnerving, but Craig’s extensive knowledge and patient explanation made the experience far less daunting. Craig was always available to me when I required advice and guidance, which made me feel as though there was someone I could trust in the midst of a great deal of turbulence. Although he was kind and reassuring, Craig was straight down the line and made sure I was fully aware of all possible outcomes, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. The compassion and genuine concern he showed was extraordinary, as was his unwavering performance in court. With Craig’s guidance, we were able to obtain the best outcome we could expect, and I will be forever grateful to him. I could not be more pleased with the service that Craig provided and would not hesitate to recommend him."
