Brookfields has a long history of legal practice
in New Zealand. Over the years we have updated and refined our debt collection
systems to provide an efficient service to recover outstanding debts for
our corporate, local authority and private clients. Our skilled debt recovery
team is co-ordinated by Lisa Hughes, a senior legal executive in our
commercial litigation division. A demand from a law firm is often all that
is needed to recover the debt. We have a high degree of success with initial
telephone discussions, letters of demand, and statutory demands.
For more obdurate debtors, the issue of court proceedings may be necessary
to demonstrate the degree to which creditors are prepared to go to recover
outstanding moneys. In many instances, we also find that the mere service
of court proceedings will result in payment of the debt.
