Escalate shortlisted for another major award at LexisNexis Legal Awards

Escalate, the ground breaking dispute and bad debt resolution service, has been shortlisted in the prestigious LexisNexis Legal Awards 2020. The business was chosen by judges as a finalist for the ‘Award for Legal Services Innovation’.

The news follows the announcement last month that Escalate was shortlisted in three categories at the Modern Law Awards.

Chris Clay, Managing Director of Escalate, said: “It’s a great way for us and our partner firms to start the new year – it means a lot to be recognised by our peers in this way at the LexisNexis Legal Awards.

“We created Escalate in order to help SMEs get access to justice in a system that was previously stacked against them. We’re already helping to unlock over £80 million of cash for businesses in a variety of commercial disputes, and there’s so much more that we want to do.”

Escalate is transforming how SMEs resolve disputes and tackle late payment and bad debts. The service has already won a string of awards, including ‘Innovation of the Year’ at the British Accountancy Awards 2017, ‘Best Collaboration Initiative’ at the Lawyer Awards 2018, ‘Excellence in Business Development’ at the Law Society Excellence Awards 2018, and ‘Legal Services Innovation Award’ at The British Legal Awards 2018. The company was also shortlisted for ‘New Business of the Year’ at the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards 2019.
