Adrian Samuel and Michael Mulcare from the SO Legal Litigation team gave the audience some key tactics and advice around recovering commercial debts, the difficulties of doing so, alternative dispute resolution techniques and good practice tools for all business owners to adopt.   

Elias Paourou, Partner at Quantuma  presented a range of ways to help businesses know their clients better as well as helping them invest in robust and managed due diligence processes and procedures; reviewing terms and conditions; adopting stricter processes and a range of alternatives to help businesses manage debt.

Steve Griffen, Partner at Plummer Parsons finished the session off by encouraging businesses to do some research before taking on a client, including using publicly available information, asking for references, reviewing financial information and asking for a copy of their management information.

“It was another high-energy, well attended session, full of practical tips for anyone that owns or manages a business. We’re delighted to have worked with Elias and Steve on this event,” says Hamish.

He concluded: “A brilliant learning and networking opportunity for business owners, directors and professionals both local to Brighton and Hove and further afield across Sussex, all the presentations are now available on our website or YouTube channel”.
