Efficient and proactive

Escalate's funding combined with Matt's expertise makes for a litigation powerhouse combination. For Escalate to invest in my case and see it through to a conclusion, with no risk to me was invaluable, reinjected cash into my business and reinvigorated my faith in the legal system. Thankyou

Truly Exceptional

5

I have had to deal with a number of lawyers recently due to a vengeful and belligerent ex-business partner who issued a claim against me over trivial matters, turning a molehill into a mountain. I wish I had found Matthew and his team sooner, as he truly helped me achieve the best possible outcome, despite my past setbacks, which largely stemmed from not having the right guidance from the beginning.

I strongly recommend anyone in need of an outstanding litigation expert to get in touch with Matthew promptly and without hesitation. Matthew provides clear, pragmatic advice and offers exceptional support during what are likely very difficult times. He can truly save you from a lot of pain and stress.

I cannot emphasise enough how much I wish I had found Matthew sooner!

Escalate worked on a dispute case for my company after I had exhausted all other avenues. Escalate's knowledge of contract law is second to none, which combined with their diligence proved to be a winning formula.

Revolutionary approach to Commercial Litigation

5

Escalate's approach to commercial litigation is nothing short of revolutionary. By combining traditional legal expertise with funding and insurance and a commercial view, you have the perfect legal solution for business owners / SMEs.

Matthew could not come more highly recommended and he is a great example of what a modern lawyer should be. Straight forward, grounded and sensible - delivering the Escalate model brilliantly.

Could not be happier

I am writing this testimonial to express my utmost satisfaction with the outstanding services provided by Escalate Disputes. As a business owner, I found myself facing a daunting challenge with a global multinational that consistently refused to settle their outstanding invoices. Frustrated by the lack of progress through traditional legal avenues, which not only proved unsuccessful but also demanded upfront funding, I was fortunate to be recommended to Nick Harvey and Escalate Disputes by a mutual friend.

Nick immediately introduced me to Matthew O’Brien and from the outset, Matthew the team at Escalate Disputes exhibited a level of professionalism and expertise that delighted me and surpassed my expectations. They approached my case with rigour and commitment, swiftly transforming no communication into a constructive negotiation for payment in a matter of weeks. Matthew not only reengaged where there was silence previously but successfully navigated through the complexities of the dispute, securing a resolution that far exceeded my initial invoice total.

One aspect that truly sets Escalate Disputes apart is their unique and totally fair fee structure, one specifically designed to help the small business owner. Despite the exceptional results achieved, their fees were reasonable, in as much that they take all the pressure of what an incredibly stressful situation is away from you and the return on investment was unquestionably positive. I was not only left with the recovered amount owed to me but after their fees I ended up with more than my original invoice total, a testament to the effectiveness of their approach.

I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew, Nick and the Escalate Disputes team to any business owner grappling with similar challenges. Their strategic and results-driven methodology, combined with a commitment to client satisfaction, makes them an invaluable partner in complex legal disputes. Escalate Disputes has proven to be a reliable ally, and I am grateful for the positive impact they have had on me and my business.

Unfortunately, it seems to be becoming a rarity within commercial sectors, where the opportunity arises to pass on your thanks wholeheartedly, however on this occasion, personally I couldn’t thank Matthew enough.

After falling fowl to what I’ll call a mobile phone sc am, having a CCJ issued and being caught up in a legal dispute over terms and conditions within a business-to-business contract, I very quickly found myself wrapped up in legal terminology and felt I was sinking fast.

After being put in contact with Escalate via our accountants (TC), Matthew had a brief teams call, had the information sent over and called me straight back after the weekend.

At no point did he give me false hope or say I would be in a position to win should it go to a court, in fact it was the opposite as the terms were fairly tight, but there was a chance of contacting the claimant with regards ADR. From this moment on I felt like the millstone had been removed from around my neck, emails were being sent to the claimant and the court, and ultimately a resolve was achieved in a very short time.

Bearing in mind this had been circling around since March and a CCJ being issued in June (subsequently set aside), for Matthew to reach a resolve in just a few days was remarkable in my eyes.

Therefore, with all the above in mind, I would like to sincerely extend my thanks and gratitude to Matthew, Escalate and any of his team for the speedy and professional approach.

Should CCS ever be in a position where we require legal representation or find ourselves having commercial disputes with any of our clients (hopefully not), I trust we can contact Escalate.

I am extremely impressed by both the company and its concept. My point of contact is via my solicitor Matthew who has been exceptional in conducting my case with great care and attention and investing huge amounts of his own collateral throughout. Calls or texts are always speedily responded to , his advice is sage and his personal friendliness and demeanour are an example to all. The companies central concept makes the whole process of litigation much less stressful and means that the chance of real justice for their clients is ultimately greatly enhanced .
