Harper Macleod LLP has become the first commercial law firm in Scotland to be nominated in the highly coveted Credit Today Awards 2007.
The firm’s Recoveries & Insolvency Group has been nominated in the category of Commercial Credit Team of the Year, in recognition of its outstanding reputation in handling the bulk collection of commercial and other debts for businesses of all types in both secured and unsecured recoveries, insolvency matters and defender work.
A key Practice Group within Harper Macleod, the Recoveries & Insolvency team achieved 38% growth in the number of instructions received during 2006 (following 114% in 2004-5), handling over 9000 instructions per annum, whilst experiencing an exceptional year in relation to independent recognition and market reputation.
The award winning Recoveries Team (‘Debt Recovery Team of the Year’, The Law Awards of Scotland 2004) is shortlised for Commercial Credit Team of the Year alongside organisations such as British Gas, BT Directories, Europcar and Npower. The winner will be announced at a glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House in London on 17 May.
Harper Macleod Chief Executive Martin Darroch said; “It is a tremendous achievement for our Recoveries & Insolvency team to be nominated for this award and demonstrates that our business model for handling the bulk collection of commercial and other debts is highly successful. Harper Macleod is the first Scottish law firm to be nominated on this kind of business platform and we are thrilled to be recognised alongside such a prestigious list of national organisations.”
