New addition for commercial recoveries team
Richard Gwynne has joined Spratt Endicott Solicitors and the leadership team has big plans to further grow the department.
Richard joins Spratt Endicott from Shoosmiths LLP where he was director of commercial debt recovery, having worked for the company for the past 26 years forging his well-deserved reputation as an expert in the field.
Richard’s experience encompasses volume debt recovery, contentious litigation, insolvency, telephone collection techniques and an extensive working knowledge of systems in support of client requirements.
His move reunites Richard with his former colleague, Martin Hughes, non-lawyer partner and head of commercial recoveries, having previously worked together before Spratt Endicott demerged from Shoosmiths LLP back in 2002.
Martin and Richard are now looking to evolve their highly experienced team further, with the firm’s recent investment in an efficient web-based pre-legal collection system designed to support the debt recovery team in making processes more efficient for both staff and clients.
Richard says: “I hugely value what Spratt Endicott are doing—if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have joined the team. For a client, it’s the people and service that are important and Spratt Endicott offers the personal service and value. I feel I can offer clients more here because I have the freedom to do that.”
Martin adds: “It’s about being flexible enough to change and responding to the needs of our clients in the future. Many firms expand by recruiting expertise from elsewhere, and Richard will be invaluable to the continued growth and success of our team.”
