The exposure

Exposures in collections practice

Each practice generates claims in characteristic ways. Coverage is evaluated against the exposures specific to the work.

01

FDCPA & compliance

Consumer collection is heavily regulated; an FDCPA or state-law misstep exposes both the firm and its clients to statutory liability.

02

Judgment & limitations

Missing a limitations period or failing to properly reduce a claim to judgment forfeits the client's ability to collect.

03

Garnishment & execution error

Errors in garnishment, levy, or execution procedure can void recovery and draw counterclaims.
