The Team
Our highly experienced team is led by Melanie Potts who is a Senior Associate Solicitor at Curtis Law Solicitors.
The Team are also able to draw on the experience of Andrew Bell and Tasleem Riaz, both of whom are Directors at the firm with Andrew Bell holding Higher Rights of Audience – All Courts
If the debt recovery matter is straightforward and resolved by way of an initial letter the matter can be concluded within weeks. However, if a Judgment is required and enforcement action, depending on the Court system, a typical case can take up to 12 months from initial instructions to conclusion. However, if complications arise, or delay, this will impact on the timeframe but we would keep you fully advised of any delay, the reasons and what we are doing to reduce the delay so far as we can.
