Industry

Legal Services Collections The firms, and the companies that serve them.

E-discovery, court reporting and the other companies that serve attorneys, along with law firms and legal service providers. A third party keeps you out of the awkward conversation with a client you still need to work with.

Why it goes unpaid

The account is late for a reason.

The firms, and the companies that serve them.

Much of the money owed in the legal industry is owed to the companies around the firms: e-discovery providers, court reporting agencies and the other ancillary services attorneys rely on. Law firms have their own version of it. A firm chasing its own client for fees is in an awkward position. The relationship is personal, the partner who brought the client in does not want to make the call, and confidentiality obligations shape what can be said to whom. A third party takes the firm out of that conversation. We collect from business clients only: every account we take is owed by a business, never by an individual.

Law firms and legal professionals face unique client confidentiality and regulatory obligations, factors that can complicate collections. Our expert team navigates these nuances to recover overdue fees without compromising client trust or ethics. We do the work behind the scenes while you focus on delivering justice.

Who we work with: E-discovery providers, court reporting agencies, ancillary attorney services, law firms and legal service providers with unpaid fees owed by business clients.

How it works

Five steps. The first one costs nothing.

  1. Tell us what happened

    How much you are owed, who owes it, how old it is and what has already been tried. A short conversation, not an onboarding process.

  2. You get an honest read

    Before you place anything, we review the account and tell you straight whether it is worth pursuing, how long it is likely to take and what it will take to recover. If we do not believe it can be collected, we tell you that up front, before you spend any more time on it.

  3. Send the paperwork

    The contract, the invoices, the proof of work. Whatever establishes that the debt is real and that it is owed to you.

  4. A veteran collector works it

    Someone who has worked your industry for decades. You get status updates and reporting throughout, so you always know where the account stands.

  5. You get paid

    We collect, and we pay you. Recovered money is remitted to you every week, and there is no fee unless we collect.

The terms

No fee unless we collect.

  1. No fee unless we collect

    Contingency, with no management fee and no paperwork fee. If nothing is recovered, you owe nothing.

  2. Legal forwarding at no markup

    Most agencies work an account for a week or two, hand it to legal, then raise the contingency rate or add a legal management fee. The rate does not change here and there is no management fee. You pay filing fees and court costs at cost. It stays a last resort.

  3. Weekly remittances

    Money that comes in goes out to you every week, so a recovery does not sit in someone else's account improving their cash flow instead of yours.

  4. Domestic and international

    Including overseas creditors owed by companies in the United States, where waiting for the statute to run is the most common and most expensive mistake.

  5. We find out why they are not paying

    A company that cannot pay and a company that will not pay need opposite approaches. Working out which one you are dealing with comes before anything else.

  6. Status updates and reporting

    You are told where the account stands without having to chase your own collection agency for an answer.

Questions

Asked by legal services companies.

Do you collect for e-discovery and court reporting companies?

Yes. Much of the money owed in the legal industry is owed to the companies around the firms: e-discovery providers, court reporting agencies and other ancillary services. Every account is owed by a business, never by an individual.

Do you only collect commercial debt in legal services?

Yes. Every account we take is owed by one business to another business. We do not collect consumer debt, and we do not take accounts owed by individuals.

What does it cost?

It is contingency. There is no fee unless money is collected, no management fee and no paperwork fee. If the account is placed and nothing is recovered, you owe nothing.

What do you need from me to start?

Whatever establishes that the debt is real and that it is owed to you. Usually the contract or the purchase order, the invoices, and proof that the work was done or the goods were delivered.

Will this damage the relationship with my customer?

The first job is working out why they are not paying, because a customer who cannot pay and a customer who will not pay need opposite approaches. Where the relationship is still worth keeping, the account is worked in a way that leaves it standing.

What if it has to go to an attorney?

Legal forwarding is a last resort and it does not change your rate. There is no legal management fee. You pay the filing fees and court costs at cost, with no markup.

Commercial (B2B) collections only. We do not collect consumer debt.

Let’s go get your money.

Bring the account. You get a straight answer on whether it is worth placing, what the timeline looks like and what it will take to get you paid.

Owed by a business? B2B collections only.
