Do you provide credit advice, debt management solutions or take court actions for (or against) debt recovery? Attend this seminar for the latest tools, holistic approach and peer guidance to update and strengthen your strategy.

The past decade has witnessed personal and consumer debts reaching new record levels, quickly becoming a raising concern for both businesses and councils alike. Civil justice statistics published this year, suggests that debt cases made up 46% of primary craves initiated at civil courts and debt initiations also increased by 22% from previous year. This trend makes the role of solicitors critical and brings with it challenges both unique and complex.
