Approach

WFJ was founded in 1932, and the client centric servicemodel that built the firm is still the foundation we operate on today. We pride ourselves in partnering with our clients to assist them in achieving their specific goals. Our success is measured in the fact that many of our client relationships span decades and often have survived multiple mergers and acquisitions. We are focused on maintaining strong relationships throughout our clients’ organizations and take pride in being viewed as a value-add resource for finance, collections, and legal teams.

Scope of Work

We work with our clients on thousands of construction projects each year, from the up-front contract review or title search, lien or bond claim enforcement, contractual dispute resolution, collection of the project AR, and when necessary, commercial litigation enforcement. Much of our work is handled in-house at WFJ, with the assistance of our client’s credit professionals, and without the need for a lawsuit. We work with our clients in routine collection matters, settlement payment plans, state and federal court litigation, mediation, arbitration and other alternative dispute resolution processes.

With WFJ as the quarterback in the collections process, not only do we manage your legal or collection expense spend, but more importantly, we serve as the one-stop shopexpert our clients can turn to, no matter where the issue arises. Our expertise in commercial collections management saves our clients time and the hassle of handling of relationships with our local resources all around the US and internationally.

In addition to collection work, WFJ can assist clients on lien, bond, and UCC perfection and enforcement, general contract negotiation concerns, and bankruptcy matters, including preference defense. We help them resolve performance issues and settle disputes. Our legal and practical knowledge of the construction industry and project types benefits clients because many of our clients have the same or similar customer base, so we are often the first to learn of problem accounts or distressed projects.
