Jobs saved as Incasso bought

DEBT recovery business Incasso, owned by failed law firm Cobbetts before its administration earlier this month, has been acquired.

HL Legal Solicitors of Redditch has acquired all of the clients, business and assets of Incasso and safeguards the jobs of the 52 staff working in Incasso’s Leeds offices.

Cobbetts was bought by rival law firm DWF after a pre-pack administration, also undertaken by KMPG.
 
Mark Firmin, head of KPMG’s UK regions restructuring practice and joint administrator to Incasso, said: “Following our appointment as administrator to Incasso, the Cobbetts-owned debt recovery company, we are pleased to provide some certainty for the business and to have concluded the transfer of all the remaining Cobbetts’ business and assets.”
