Zenith Legal Services Group is a private commercial recovery practice. We work with companies, directors and creditors on the unwind of distressed positions, the recovery of disputed sums, and the forensic analysis that informs both.
Our work centres on three connected disciplines. Most engagements draw on more than one. The objective in every case is the same: a commercially-defensible recovery, delivered with the minimum of public theatre.
End-to-end recovery of disputed and undisputed commercial sums. We engage debtors directly, conduct settlement negotiations, and instruct litigators where escalation is required. Acting for both sides of the ledger: creditors pursuing recovery, and directors managing inbound pressure.
Open-source investigation, corporate intelligence and asset tracing in support of recovery and litigation. We assemble the evidential picture that gives recovery work its leverage, working from public records, corporate filings, court data and lawful private sources.
Practical support to directors, shareholders and licensed insolvency practitioners during the period before a formal procedure begins. We manage creditor communications, prepare evidential bundles, and act as the commercial counterpart to your appointed legal and insolvency professionals.
The most economically rational time to recover is before issue. We invest disproportionately in the pre-action phase: in tracing, in pressure, in negotiation. Most matters do not need to reach court.
The strength of a position correlates with the quality of the evidence behind it. Our forensic capability is what gives our recovery work credibility on the other side of the table.
We are commercial recovery practitioners. We work alongside instructed solicitors and licensed insolvency practitioners where their authority is required, and we are clear with clients about where our remit ends and theirs begins.
Initial assessments are without charge or obligation. Most matters are scoped within forty-eight hours of first contact.
