Who We Are

Senior counsel, on the matters that matter.

STA Legal was created to meet a simple but demanding brief: deliver City-level legal capability with the discipline, responsiveness and discretion that boardrooms, investors and high net worth clients expect. We focus on matters where legal risk and commercial risk are indistinguishable – complex disputes, regulatory exposure, cross-border assets, and high-stakes individual mandates.

We sit within the STA Group, a recovery and dispute-resolution business with origins dating back to 1955, founded in New York as Stanley Tulchin Associates trading as STA International. Over time the group expanded across the United States, Mexico and the United Kingdom, developing longstanding capability in receivables management and commercial recovery.

STA Legal brand was established in 2021 as the regulated legal services arm of the group. We provide legal recovery and dispute-resolution services across debt recovery, commercial litigation, arbitration and insolvency. We operate with the same ISO accreditations and maintain affiliations held across the wider group. We act for clients ranging from SMEs to FTSE 100 organisations and work in partnership with insurers to recover insured trade losses.

What We Stand For

Four principles, applied without exception.

01

Senior attention

Partner-led from first call to final order. No handing the file down the chain.

02

Commercial judgement

We advise on the matter in front of you — and the business it sits inside.

03

Direct counsel

We tell you what we think, not what is comfortable. Including when to settle.

04

Disciplined cost

Clear budgets, monthly billing, and fixed-fee structures where they fit.
