Lane & Co Business Debt Recovery Solicitors – Celebrating our 40th Birthday!
Lane & Co, the specialist business debt recovery solicitors, is celebrating its 40th birthday this year. Founded in 1978, we are the UK’s longest established specialist commercial debt recovery firm. We continue to offer a comprehensive range of debt collection services to businesses operating anywhere in the UK.

Celebrating our 40th Birthday
We Have Collected Tens of Millions of £s for our Clients
The non or very late payment of debts in the UK is a significant problem to businesses, which can severely impact cash flow and put business survival at risk. At Lane and Co, we focus entirely on commercial debt recovery, and over the years we have collected £10s of millions for our clients, quickly and efficiently.
Founded by Michael Lane in 1978, we started trading from a small office in Walsall. Eventually we moved to our current, larger, offices on Broadway North, Walsall in 1992, with Mark Edwards joining Michael in partnership in 1998. In 2005, upon Michael’s retirement, the practice was acquired by Mark and John Pitt.
Today we are a thriving business, employing a dedicated and experienced team of 20 Lawyers and support staff, who provide a high-level professional service. John heads up the commercial debt recovery department, whilst Mark heads up the commercial litigation department. Both have over 25 years of experience in their specialist fields, whilst Mark is celebrating 30 years as a solicitor.
Our clients appreciate the results we get, as shown by the work they give us and the fact that many have stayed with us for 10 years or more.
We Offer Commercial Debt Collection and Litigation Services
Our business debt recovery solicitors provide advice on both commercial debt collection and litigation matters to a wide range of clients across all industries throughout the UK.
In addition, we have litigated on high value disputed claims to trial on behalf of our clients, settling cases through alternative dispute resolution where possible.
A Big Thank You to All of Our Clients
We would like to thank our clients for the loyalty shown to us over the years and to our dedicated staff in making it all happen! Here’s to the next 40 years.
