Pre-litigation reports

Litigation is costly and its outcome uncertain. In circumstances where a client has not paid an invoice or in any other contractual or civil claim, most clients tend to focus on the strength of their legal case, which runs the danger of overlooking:-

  • the influence of the financial circumstances of the defendant
  • The legal procedures available following a court judgment to enforce judgment, which can result in more money being spent without the judgement debt not recovered or only partially recovered

Before incurring expensive legal fees, there is real merit in obtaining what is a pre-litigation report. Pre-ligation reports from Blackhawk provide are tailor made for each client and each case, and most importantly, scaled to the likely sums of money involved in the case; there is nothing worse than “throwing good money after bad”. Our pre-litigation reports enable clients to make informed choices. Depending on the type of case, amount at stake and number of parties involved, our reports may include :-

  • Bankruptcy searches
  • Winding up searches
  • Property and asset searches
  • Register of County Court Judgments
  • Companies House searches including historical directorships
  • Address checks
  • Lifestyle checks
  • If multi parties to litigation, checks to see whether some defendants are stronger financially then others

As stated above, we will tailor make an appropriate package for you. Please telephone us or email us using our secure pre-litigation contact form.
