Jason Morris
Legal Director and Head of Debt Recovery
"I am a debt recovery specialist assisting clients in their service requirements to maximise recovery and minimalise loss.”
I lead the debt recovery team which sits within the wider dispute resolution team at Higgs. I joined in November 2023 and prior to this I was Head of Debt Recovery in Birmingham law firms.
My career has always been finance focused, from working in banking, credit management and now law, where I have over 20 years’ experience.
I advise on a legal and commercial approach to the recovery of debts due to clients, from early collections through to enforcement and insolvency.
- £14m ledger recovery acting for a debt purchase company which included personal guarantees.
