Debt recovery specialist Madeline Broddley has joined Team Lincolnshire member Sills & Betteridge

The commercial litigation team at Sills & Betteridge LLP has been strengthened by the appointment of Debt Recovery Chartered Legal Executive Madeline Broddley.

Madeline joins the firm - a member of Team L:incolnshire - with over 30 years of experience in national and international debt recovery and insolvency, representing national and international banks, local government, builders' merchants and energy and utility providers.

She specialises in the enforcement of charging orders by way of applying for orders for sale and the realisation of legal, equitable and statutory charges along with other possession actions, such as mortgage repossession.

She also deals with the recovery of overpaid benefits, benefit fraud, bankruptcy and foreign process, which may involve the recovery of a debt by seizing assets located abroad. She can also give advice on credit control and how to avoid bad debt.

Although she will be based at the firm's Lincoln office, she will be available to assists clients in all Sills & Betteridge offices.

“I take great pride in looking after my clients’ interests and recovering money owed to them," said Madeline.

"I have acquired a vast wealth of experience over the years enabling me to deal with most situations confronting clients.  I look forward to being able to continue providing and further developing my dedicated service to clients, supported by Sills & Betteridge who add to the expertise I am able to offer.”

Karen Bower Brown, Head of Commercial Litigation at the firm, said “I am so pleased that Madeline has decided to join our commercial litigation team. I have no doubt that her skills and expertise will be hugely beneficial to our clients and will complement the services we already provide to clients in the department and the wider firm.”
