ESCALATE
Escalate – the award-winning commercial dispute solution that removes ALL financial risk and targets a prompt settlement.
The dispute resolution process is stacked against anyone wanting to make a claim. The time adds up, the bills increase, and you're often forced to pay expenses upfront - and that’s before you even consider the other side’s costs if the case is lost.
Our transparent no-recovery no-cost, accountancy-led process is transforming how businesses manage their commercial disputes.
As one of the judges at The Lawyer Awards summarised it: Escalate "is a clever, clever concept [that] gives SMEs real prospects of recovery without having to spend exorbitant legal fees or having to write off debt.”
We're already helping to unlock £20 million of cash for businesses in a variety of commercial disputes. Could you protect your cashflow by using Escalate?

No recovery, nothing to pay
If we can’t reach a settlement on your behalf, you don’t pay out. We also protect you from the other party’s costs with our built-in insurance policy.
Fixed fee upon success
There is a fixed fee structure for all cases – so that you have complete transparency from the very beginning and there are no nasty surprises later on.
Money back in 3 months
The Escalate process targets your money back in just 3 months – to help your business with its cashflow.
Old and new disputes resolved
If you have a past dispute that you wrote off because you thought it would be too time-consuming and expensive, Escalate can look into it. Could you boost your business’s cashflow by using Escalate?
