With a 'very engaging and responsive' practice, Aberdein Considine handles debt recovery mandates across the UK, leveraging two distinct teams through its lender services practice group and commercial debt recovery team. The lender services group, which is led by Myra Scott, acts for a varied client roster of banks, asset-based lenders, building societies and other lenders on the recovery of secured mortgages, unsecured debt and other recoveries. The team also works closely with the banking litigation practice, which is led by Laura Browne, and Ross Webb, who leads the commercial debt recovery team, is also a key name to note.
