Complex Litigation and Insolvency

The CS Litigation team is made up of Partners, Solicitors, Trainee Solicitors, and paralegals amongst others and deals with complex debt recovery and commercial litigation cases. Cases are received into this team either as escalated cases from the Collections or Claims and Enforcement team or as direct referrals from clients who require a bespoke legal service from the outset.

In the current climate it is vital for the team to do much more than deliver a litigation service. Given the cost of litigation the team regularly gets involves in matters referred direct well before the client has settled on issuing proceedings. The aim of the team on these early referrals is to resolve matters without the need for litigation. The team is trained to engage and negotiate and assist with the full range of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.

We provide commercially aware and legally effective advice aimed at guiding our clients through often complex and commercially sensitive cases.

Where it becomes necessary the team deals with issuing proceedings and dealing with the full range of defended matters along with counterclaims that may arise. As well as conventional proceedings issued in either the county or high courts the team also deals with the full range of insolvency matters.

The team includes partner Uday Patel who currently heads the team and Rachel Addai also a Partner and the overall head of J&P Credit Solutions.
