Review of Escalate
Escalate provide a refreshing approach to settlement negotiations and litigation, where the interests of both parties are most certainly aligned. Their risk free and cost-favourable solution provides us with a fantastic opportunity to progress investigative work in insolvency cases, which may have otherwise been unsatisfactorily concluded because of funding issues.
Escalate have proved to be commercial, efficient and pro-active on all the cases we have worked together, and we look forward to collaboratively progressing other matters with them in the future.
A representative from Escalate Law Limited responded to this review on 23 May, 2024:
Thank you Luke, it's a pleasure working with you and we look forward to continuing to work together.

Truly Exceptional
I have had to deal with a number of lawyers recently due to a vengeful and belligerent ex-business partner who issued a claim against me over trivial matters, turning a molehill into a mountain. I wish I had found Matthew and his team sooner, as he truly helped me achieve the best possible outcome, despite my past setbacks, which largely stemmed from not having the right guidance from the beginning.
I strongly recommend anyone in need of an outstanding litigation expert to get in touch with Matthew promptly and without hesitation. Matthew provides clear, pragmatic advice and offers exceptional support during what are likely very difficult times. He can truly save you from a lot of pain and stress.
I cannot emphasise enough how much I wish I had found Matthew sooner!
A representative from Escalate Law Limited responded to this review on 16 May, 2024:
Hi James, thank you so much for your review. We're really pleased that Matthew was able to help with your case and achieve the best outcome for your business. Best regards from the Escalate team.

High Profile Case
From day one, Chris and his colleagues at Escalate treated me with incredible kindness, respect and sensitivity. The case was complex, personal and the opposition tough, yet challenges were met with calmness, skill and expertise which provided me with great confidence and comfort from start through to settlement.

I am extremely impressed by both the company and its concept. My point of contact is via my solicitor Matthew who has been exceptional in conducting my case with great care and attention and investing huge amounts of his own collateral throughout. Calls or texts are always speedily responded to , his advice is sage and his personal friendliness and demeanour are an example to all. The companies central concept makes the whole process of litigation much less stressful and means that the chance of real justice for their clients is ultimately greatly enhanced .
A representative from Escalate Law Limited responded to this review on 12 March, 2024:
Thank you David for taking the time to review Escalate, and highlighting your experience with Matthew. It's great to hear that you were impressed by our core concept of making the litigation process much less stressful, and giving SMEs a proper chance at achieving access to justice.

About this branch
Description
Escalate is a multi award-winning commercial dispute service that removes all financial risk and targets a prompt settlement for SME claimants. Over £40 billion a year is written off by SMEs, with high upfront costs, financial risks and a slow process all contributing to the fragility of the commercial dispute market. Co-founders Chris Clay and Nick Harvey set out to bring the dispute ‘supply chain’ together as a collaborative venture involving accountancy firms, funders and insurers, encouraging everyone to assess the issues in a fresh way. Our all-in-one packaged solution provides built in legal expertise, case funding, and full cost protection against case loss – all for a capped fee which is only payable upon a successful outcome, with no upfront costs. We're already helping to unlock more than £100 million of cash for businesses in a variety of commercial disputes, including debt recovery, breach of contract, shareholder disputes, partnership disputes, insolvency applications and professional negligence. Whether a commercial dispute is at the start of its journey or has already progressed and is now stalled due to funding constraints or worries about financial risk, we can work with SMEs and their current advisers to help unlock the dispute. Cases that are accepted for Escalate benefit immediately from the transfer of all financial cost and risk to a regulated law firm. Escalate's awards collection includes 'Legal Services Innovation Award' at the 2018 British Legal Awards, ‘Excellence in Business Development’ at the Law Society Excellence Awards, ‘Best Collaboration Initiative’ at the Lawyer Awards, and ‘Innovation of the Year’ at the 2017 British Accountancy Awards. We also won ‘Innovation of the Year’ at the Modern Legal Awards 2020, and 'Supplier of the Year' at the British Credit Awards 2022.
