About ABL Law

ABL Law ethos is to help its clients take action when financial disputes matter most — protecting their financial interest by, pursuing recovery, and resolving complex disputes with expert advice, focus and a clear strategy.

Who Are ABL

  • Our approach is built around understanding the pressure behind every dispute and the underlying legal framework entered into by our clients. We identify what is commercially important, where the real risks sit for our clients and what action will bring about the best result.

    From the outset, we focus on strategy: what needs to happen, what can be avoided, and how to move the matter forward with purpose. Every case is handled with an identified strategy and we exercises judgment to achieve the best result for our clients.

  • Our values shape how we work and how we treat the people who place their trust in us. We believe in being direct, prepared and dependable — giving clients immediate professional guidance by taking ownership of the issues in play and acting with care as well as the determination to make a real difference.

    For us, legal services are not just about technical ability. To be excellent, they need to show a proper of exercise of judgment and  we pride ourselves on prompt communications to keep our clients fully informed at all times.

  • Our story began with a simple idea: to provide legal support to asset based lenders in a sharper, clearer and more purposeful way.

    ABL Law was created to bring together serious litigation experience with a focused, modern way of working. We wanted to build a firm that understands the commercial reality behind a dispute — the pressure of non-payment whether disputed or undisputed, difficult opponents and decisions that cannot sit still.

    From the beginning, our aim has been to create a firm with momentum: one that acts promptly but carefully, thinking strategically and moving matters forward without delay. Not a firm built around volume or routine process, but around strategic focus, professional judgment and the belief that clients deserve a legal team fully invested in the time and expense that litigation brings.

Phil Sheard - Founder

Phil’s philosophy is that a law firm should be ambitious not only for its clients, but for the people who build it. ABL Law has been created as a place where talented people can learn quickly, do meaningful work, take ownership, and feel part of a strategic law firm delivering excellent results for its clients.

The firm is built around high standards, trust and opportunity. People are encouraged to think commercially, contribute ideas and develop their own strengths, rather than simply fit into a traditional structure. For those who want to grow, be challenged and help shape the future of a modern financial litigation firm, ABL Law offers the chance to be part of that journey from the beginning.
