Debt recovery service

Recovering debts through court

- Taking legal action to reclaim a debt can be seen as a last resort, as often just the merest indication that you intend to bring legal proceedings will often be sufficient to make your customers settle. However, should your debt recovery processes fail, there are several points to consider before beginning any legal process.



- The court often expects your company to make an effort to resolve your dispute with the other party before your company’s legal action. Therefore a court hearing takes place only after your company has tried to reach an agreement with the customer.

Choosing a Lawyer

- Finding a lawyer can be a challenge, and personal recommendations are often a good way to decide. Before you make a decision, ask the following questions:
+ Is there any firm specialising in debt recovery?
+ Does the firm have a mediator or dispute resolution service that you can consider as an alternative option?
+ How will you be charged – a per hour rate plus expenses or by the percentage of the sum recovered?
+ If they do business on a 'no win, no fee' basis, are there any hidden costs? Will you have to pay court costs?

What we do

Our recovery team provides a one stop shop from initial advice through judgments and enforcement. We undertake all methods of enforcement including charging orders and insolvency action. The team provides commercial advice at every stage of the litigation procedure.

Our fee

We have a variety of reasonable fee packages for any considerable work and will discuss individual requirements. A one size fits all approach is not applied as each case is handled on its own merits.

Civil Litigation

When you need civil suit lawyers, you can rest assured that we are dedicated and aggressive civil suit lawyers for corporations, businesses, investors, and individuals.
We are committed to providing dedicated, aggressive, professional, and thorough service to clients. We are always willing to explore settlement to save a client's time and money, but will zealously litigate contested cases.


a. Civil litigation

- Civil litigation is a legal dispute between two or more parties seeking monetary damages. Those involved in civil litigation are seeking money rather than having the other party punished criminally. There are many different disputes that can be involved in civil litigation, including:

• Personal Injury
• Workers’ Compensation
• Products Liability
• Construction Issues
Real Estate Issues
Commercial Issues
• Contract Disputes

- At Ant Lawyers, we represent parties during trials, hearings, arbitrations, and mediations. Our lawyers are capable of handling litigation in district and provincial courts, so regardless of what kind of action is involved in your civil litigation matter, a lawyer from our firm will be able to help you. Your civil litigation lawyer will be beside you throughout every step of the process – from the investigation, to the trial, to the settlement, and will do everything possible to resolve whatever legal issue you are facing

b. Real estate

- Real estate transactions and commercial transactions can be extremely complex and are difficult for many individuals to sort out. Whether you are a property owner who is having problems with the buyer of your home, or a business owner looking to acquire commercial property or to sell or buy a business, you have much to gain by hiring a lawyer to handle the situation. At Ant Lawyers, we provide representation to both individuals and businesses for a wide variety of real estate and commercial matters, including those involving:

• Commercial Property
• Residential Property
• Construction
• Landlord/Tenant Issues
• Mortgage or Loan Financing
• Foreclosures
• Insurance Claims
• Employment matters

No matter what particular issue you may be facing, it is best to speak with a real estate lawyer at our firm before you take any action. Your lawyer will provide you with much needed advice and legal guidance during this time, and with their assistance you will have a much better idea of what is going on and what needs to be done on your end to facilitate a resolution to your issue.


c. Family & Matrimonial Services

When a legal issue arises involving a family, the situation must be carefully handled. At Ant Lawyers, our lawyers understand that family law matters must be dealt with in a sensitive manner to preserve the dignity and privacy of the individuals involved. Because family law matters concern family relationships, these situations tend to be highly emotional in nature, and involved parties can have a difficult time resolving these issues on their own. The family law lawyers at our firm have the experience necessary to competently handle whatever domestic relations issue you might be facing.

There are a number of legal issues pertaining to domestic relations, including:

• Divorce
• Child Custody
• Child Support
• Complex Financial Issues
• Spousal Maintenance (also known as spousal support, or alimony)
• Visitation Rights
• Paternity
• Adoptions
• Division of Property
