CollectAR offers law firms a comprehensive collection service for managing and collecting the law firm's commercial accounts receivables, including client accounts receivable up to pre-litigation and small claims court, to meet their client accounts collections service and recovery management process.

Under our collection service, we function as an undisclosed support service in the name of the law firm, allowing the law firm and the lawyers to concentrate on the actual practice of law and not on the running of a collection department or operation.

Lawyers who handle their own client collection cases soon discover that they are required to act as a collection agency up until the point that suit is required. In fact, under the collection agency act, an attorney handling collection matters is a "Debt Collector".

When a law firm retain CollectAR to handle its accounts collections process, we function as an extension of the law firm, collecting accounts in the name of the law firm, operating as the collections back-office of the law firm.

This way, the law firm eliminates the demanding tasks of managing the accounts collection follow-up process needed in order to gain and maintain payment compliance, which the operation of their own collection service requires.

Lawyers will discover that they become more productive and can handle claims more efficiently because they are now able to focus their attention on matters involving suit and the actual practice of law.
