Sugar Law Group

Frequently asked questions

Can Sugar Law Group help collect an unpaid invoice from another business?

Yes. Sugar Law Group's core focus is commercial (business to business) debt collection. It reviews the accounts receivable file, builds a collection strategy, and pursues recovery, usually on a contingency basis so a client only pays if money is actually recovered.

Does Sugar Law Group handle personal or consumer debt too, not just business debt?

Yes. Alongside commercial collections, the firm also works on consumer (business to consumer) debt recovery matters.

Do I have to pay upfront to have Sugar Law Group pursue a debt?

For debt collection, the firm's stated approach is contingency based work: if nothing is collected, no fee is owed. If litigation is required, it's usually pursued on contingency as well when viable, though the firm typically requests a retainer from the client to cover court fees and disbursements.

My business is in a dispute with a supplier, customer, or partner. Can Sugar Law Group help?

Sugar Law Group represents both plaintiffs and defendants in commercial disputes, including matters involving transportation, construction, commercial real estate, employment, factoring and lending, insurance claims, commercial fraud, and director and officer liability. The firm generally tries to resolve disputes through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or arbitration before going to court.

If my case has to go to court, will it be Small Claims Court or a higher court?

It depends on the amount and nature of the claim. Sugar Law Group represents clients in both Small Claims Court and the Superior Court of Justice, and can also take steps to enforce a judgment once one is obtained.

Where is Sugar Law Group located and how do I reach them?
