Global Recoveries & Legal Support

Our approach to insured and uninsured claim recoveries on a ‘No-Cure, No-Pay’ basis is the most efficient in yielding results through our immediate legal and technical assistance.

Our ‘One-Stop-shop’ integrated solutions include claims handling, global surveys, recoveries and legal support.

We offer optimal solutions for your insured and uninsured claim recoveries worldwide through immediate technical and legal assistance.

Our strategic alliance with a global leading law firm in claims recovery and legal support with over 60 offices worldwide, brings professional rigour to the pre-litigation pursuit of debt and to the litigation of claims when required.

Our expertise in recoveries spans sectors such as construction, energy, transport, trade, and insurance.

In this unique strategic alliance between ULA and its Legal ally, both organisations come together to offer an integrated team of specialists with a global reach formed of Adjusters, Surveyors, Recovery Agents and Solicitors, that possess a wealth of expertise for maximising recovery potential and reducing recovery times through proactive claims handling. As a large multi-disciplinary team, we can deal with high-volume collections as well as complex individual debt recovery issues.

We manage pre-litigated claims through collection hubs staffed by professional debt recovery officers, applying consistent methods, systems, pricing and management information to provide assurance and results. With early technical support from ULA during claims adjusting and early coordination with our specialist recovery team, we bring professional rigour to the pre-litigation pursuit of subrogated claims and the litigation of claims when required, which means there are no barriers to litigation for claims with good merits.
