Industry leading recovery specialists
In recent years, the business of debt recovery has been changing rapidly. The effects of the Covid pandemic, followed by the Cost of Living Crisis have led to an increasingly challenging operational environment for the recovery of both consumer and commercial debts.
The regulatory and compliance frameworks have become ever more complex, particularly in relation to the fair treatment of all customers and technological advances in communications, data analytics and increasingly AI have driven processes and productivity.
J&P CS has thrived in these challenging times, whilst many traditional debt recovery businesses have fallen by the wayside. We have embraced the opportunities these changes have brought by.
- Offering single, seamlessly integrated, solutions from bulk pre-legal collections through to appropriate legal recovery strategies.
- Being licensed and regulated by both the SRA and the FCA – we are experts in the recovery of both regulated and unregulated debts.
- Investing significantly in our two key assets – our people and the technology that supports them.
- Developing our own internal and rigorously applied policy for treating all customers fairly.
- Collaborating with clients to develop innovative risk sharing and cost neutral pricing solutions.

In the community
As a progressive legal practice, we have long been aware of our wider responsibilities to the communities that we work in and serve. Though we have a long history of local community involvement, our commitment to adding social value has been formalised in recent years through the formation of two key committees, one covering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and the other Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I).
The CSR Committee is headed by one of the equity partners, Robert Davis, and made up of staff members from across the business. The committee is tasked with agreeing and delivering on our environmental policies, and charitable / community engagement activities.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At Judge and Priestley, we are proud of our record on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) and believe we are one of the most progressive firms in the legal sector in this regard. The firm is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workplace which embraces equity. We are committed to tackling and combatting discrimination. This is not only a feature of our values but one of the firms’ objectives.
