"I mostly deal with Joe, Gareth & Carol. They are all friendly and approachable and I feel I can always pick up the phone if I need some advice, they’re very generous with their time. They seem to “get” our business and will always guide me through the various options with the pros and cons for each. They are also always willing to speak with our directors should the need arise, sometimes I ﬁnd directors will take on board advice directly from Gareth or Joe than via me."

FAQS ¶

Find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below. If your question is not answered in our FAQs, please get in touch with our team.

How can Harwood & Co assist my firm? ¶
We can support you with debt recovery and commercial litigation. First we will learn about your business, your goals and the issues you face. We then provide tailored advice to your specific needs.
What fees are involved should we instruct Harwood & Co? ¶
Typically we charged fees for uncontested debt recovery claims, insolvency petitions, and enforcement action. These fees can be found in the pricing section of our website. We charge at hourly rates for all other work, such as contested ligation. We will always provide cost estimates and are happy to agree a bespoke fee structure with you.
How long do I have to pursue a debt before it becomes unenforceable? ¶
In the UK, generally, a debt may become "statute-barred" after six years under the Limitation Act 1980. However, the law on the area is complicated and the limitation period could be longer or it could be extended. If you are owed money, and are concerned about limitation, please contact us urgently.
