DEVON law firm Tozers LLP will host a seminar on debt recovery for local businesses at Exeter Racecourse on December 16.

The seminar is designed to give businesses everything they need to know so they can issue proceedings in the small claims court.

Tozers partner Simon Sanger-Anderson said: "In the current economic climate, it is all the more important to ensure that a company's cashflow is maintained.

"But many businesses tell us they are put off taking effective recovery action because they think the debts are too small, the debtor never replies to their letters or the thought of the court paperwork and procedure bringing the claim themselves seems daunting.

"Our seminar would be ideal for those who have little or no experience of dealing with DIY debt recovery action.

"For those who are more experienced, there will still be plenty of tips and tricks to learn to speed up the process and maximise your recovery."

Tozers has offices in Exeter, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, and Plymouth.

Places at the seminar cost £30 plus VAT, including lunch, and can be booked via Sarah Bott on 01392 667699 or emailing s.bott@tozers.co.uk.
