About Us

Hopkins Lawyers is a dedicated law firm with a strong focus on Debt Recovery, Litigation, and Alternative Dispute Resolution. Our team is committed to understanding the unique needs of each client, enabling us to deliver commercial legal solutions that are both timely and efficient. We recognise the importance of cost-effective legal services and strive to minimise expenses while maximising results. In the realm of Dispute Resolution, we acknowledge that disputes are an inevitable part of business operations. While litigation is a well-trodden path, it is not always the most suitable option for every client. Our lawyers are skilled in assessing situations where alternative methods may offer a more preferable resolution, potentially saving time and resources. Litigation, with its demanding preparation and adherence to court formalities and evidentiary standards, should be a carefully weighed decision. We provide the guidance necessary to determine whether court proceedings are the right course of action for your circumstance. Debt Recovery is another key area where Hopkins Lawyers excels. We understand that unpaid invoices can severely impact a business’s cash flow and overall financial health. To address this, we offer comprehensive services in Bankruptcy Litigation and Insolvency Litigation, ensuring that our clients have access to effective strategies for reclaiming debts. Our expertise extends to Town Agency matters, providing a broad spectrum of solutions for diverse debt recovery challenges. At Hopkins Lawyers, we are committed to crafting legal strategies that align with our clients’ commercial objectives. With a focus on delivering results and maintaining cost efficiency, we strive to protect and enhance our clients' business interests.
