Expanding our capabilities to protect your cash flow and provide end-to-end debt recovery solutions

20th November 2025

We have further strengthened our debt recovery and restructuring & insolvency services with the arrival of Gillian & Dale.

Gillian Kaufman has joined our restructuring & insolvency team, bringing a wealth of experience in supporting businesses through complex financial challenges. Her expertise enhances our ability to advise on insolvency strategies, including the use of winding-up petitions and bankruptcy proceedings, where recovery of your company’s debt through traditional means proves unsuccessful.

Dale Fawcett has joined us as head of the debt recovery team, leading our efforts to provide proactive credit management support to businesses. Dale’s team offers a seamless route to recover outstanding debts, starting with proven collection strategies to recover debt at the earliest point, through to escalation to litigation where necessary. He also works closely with our commercial team to help clients prevent debt build-up, strengthen their trading terms and ultimately reduce debtor days.

These appointments enhance our capabilities and deliver a comprehensive end-to-end service for clients. From early review and proactive prevention to strategic escalation and insolvency action, we support businesses in protecting cash flow, recovering debts efficiently, and managing risk, while maintaining strong commercial relationships.

  • A seamless experience – transparent processes from start to finish
  • Early intervention and prevention -proactive action to stop issues before they escalate
  • Strategic expertise – guidance built on deep industry knowledge
  • Tailored legal escalation – aligned to your objectives
  • Maximum recovery outcomes – delivering the best possible results
  • Efficiency that saves time and resources – so your team can focus on what matters most

Gillian said: “Schofield Sweeney team has a strong reputation in the region. The Insolvency team in particular is growing in terms of reputation and size and I’m looking forward to working with the very friendly and welcoming team.”

Dale commented: “I was drawn to Schofield Sweeney for its strong brand presence and scale. It’s an exciting time for the firm and I’m looking forward to expanding our specialist debt recovery offering and delivering valuable services to clients.”
