Recovering Retention Money for a Construction Subcontractor
Full amount recovered in 28 days via SOPA adjudication.
Recovered: $47,000
Read case studyEvery engagement Merion takes on is different. The debtor's situation, the creditor's appetite for the relationship, the documentation available, and the regulatory framework governing the transaction all shape how we approach recovery. What the case studies below share is a commitment to the same process: structured, documented, and outcome-focused from the first contact.
The accounts below are drawn from our work across construction, professional services, healthcare, technology, transport, recruitment, wholesale, and trade supply. All identifying details have been generalised. Dollar figures reflect actual recovered amounts. Dates indicate when the matter concluded.
We publish these case studies because prospective clients deserve to understand what working with Merion looks like in practice — not in abstract terms, but with specific numbers, realistic timelines, and candid acknowledgement of the cases where full recovery was not achieved. An 87.5% recovery rate is a good result; knowing why 12.5% was not recovered is equally useful information.
If you have a matter that resembles any of the scenarios below, the starting point is a no-obligation discussion with our team. We will tell you candidly whether we think recovery is achievable, what approach we would take, and what outcome you should realistically expect. Rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 200+ client reviews.
