Collections, led by attorneys. Specialists in recruitment & staffing debt.
Collection is what we do. The recruitment and staffing industry is who we do it for. Every file is opened under attorney letterhead and worked first as a commercial collections matter: written demand, structured negotiation, and settlement on terms the client accepts. The majority of accounts resolve at this stage, typically within the first thirty days.
The difference between Hampton Vance LLP and a conventional collections agency is what happens next. Where consensual resolution is not achieved, the same firm files suit in the debtor's home jurisdiction, pursues judgment, and applies the available post-judgment remedies. The file does not change hands.
Our Collection ServicesFrom letter of demand to satisfaction of judgment.
01
Demand
A formal attorney-letterhead demand opens the file, puts the debtor on notice, and establishes the legal record of the obligation.
02
Opportunity to Resolve
The debtor is given a defined window to pay in full or agree structured terms. The majority of matters resolve at this stage, without recourse to the courts.
03
Litigation
Where the debtor does not pay or engage in good faith, suit is filed in the debtor's home jurisdiction through our nationwide network of bar-admitted counsel.
04
Judgment & Enforcement
Following judgment, post-judgment remedies, including liens, garnishment, and asset seizure, are pursued until the balance is satisfied.
Unpaid placement fees. A practice area we know in depth.
Recruitment placement fees are governed by well-settled commercial contract principles. We routinely address the objections clients raise, including disputed acceptance of terms, source of introduction, and candidate retention, and advise on the strength of each matter before filing.
