Coodes Solicitors, one of the South West’s longest established law firms, has announced the launch of a new fixed fee debt recovery service, designed to help businesses in the region tackle the growing challenges posed by late or non-paying customers.

With a network of offices across Cornwall and Devon, Coodes is expanding its existing debt recovery services into a dedicated offering, combining local expertise with cost-efficient solutions. The team, headed by Hayley Blatch (Litigation Executive), offers a bespoke service tailored to help businesses recover outstanding debts swiftly and professionally.

The new dedicated service offers fixed fees for all stages of the recovery process, from initial contact with debtors through to enforcement of a County Court judgment. The service makes the whole process of recovering money owed less stressful and financially manageable for businesses.

Addressing a critical business need

Late payments and unpaid debts remain one of the biggest threats to business success and even survival. Coodes has seen an increase in debt collection instructions thought largely to be a result of the current economic climate.  Cash flow challenges strain vital relationships with customers and suppliers and divert valuable management time. The Debt Recovery Team at Coodes can provide a lifeline, offering practical support that balances firmness and sensitivity to preserve client relationships while maximising recovery outcomes.

Abi Lutey, Partner at Coodes Solicitors said:

"Whether you're managing a large corporation or a small business, swift and effective debt recovery measures are crucial for maintaining financial health and operational stability. Our new service leverages years of experience to address the challenges faced by businesses of all sizes, ensuring they can focus on growth rather than chasing payments."

With eight offices strategically located throughout the South West, the firm is dedicated to supporting individuals and businesses with tailored, high-quality legal expertise.

This initiative underscores Coodes Solicitors' commitment to strengthening the business community in Cornwall and Devon. The firm’s results-driven approach ensures that businesses can recover debts efficiently while maintaining positive relationships with their customers.
