Collections law firms are being squeezed from every direction.

We help them overcome today's challenges and prepare for tomorrow's opportunities.

Courts and regulators keep tightening what a collections file has to prove. Experienced attorneys and support staff are harder to hire and keep. And creditor clients keep pushing your rates down while expecting more. No managing partner can be an expert in all of it at once - and the cost of getting any one decision wrong keeps climbing. That's where a trusted advisor earns their place: someone who's seen it, knows where to push, and helps you make the right calls across the board.

— The Squeeze

Where the pressure comes from

The pressure isn't coming from one place you can plan around. It's coming from several at once.

Scrutiny tightens

What a collections suit has to prove keeps climbing - FDCPA exposure, state consumer-law changes (more than 30 states made changes in 2025 alone), court scrutiny of high-volume dockets, and bar expectations for genuine attorney involvement in every file. A single thin file or process gap now carries real cost, and the rules don't stop moving.

Talent is scarce

The people who move the docket - attorneys who'll do this work, plus the paralegals, clerks, and support staff around them - are harder to find and harder to keep, in a practice area that has never recruited itself. Every seat you can't fill, and every one that turns over, lands on how many matters you can move.

Margins compress

Creditor clients keep pushing down the contingency rates and fees you live on, even as the cost per matter climbs - filing fees, service, attorney time. Volume is up, but liquidation on litigated accounts is slipping and the economics per file are thinner. Recover more, prove more, report more - for less. The room for error keeps shrinking.

Any one of these is manageable. Together they close in - and pushing harder on the same playbook doesn't relieve the pressure. It just costs more to stay in place.

— The Trap

Why it's hard to face alone

Every response to the squeeze costs money and time, and no firm leader can be an expert in compliance, operations, staffing, and technology all at once. The market's instinct is to sell you something - and right now, that something is almost always AI.

Technology is genuinely part of the way through, AI included. But a tool on its own changes nothing. It pays off only when it's matched to the real problem, wired into how the practice actually runs, built on data it can trust, and operationalized so people use it - and in a firm, it has to hold up to the court and the bar on top of that.

Not because firm leaders can't see that - because they're running a practice and carrying a caseload. Few have the time, the technical bench, or the vendor-side experience to vet every claim and architect the integration. So the wrong tool gets bought, bolted on, and underdelivers - and the gap between the promise and the result becomes one more thing to manage.

— Who We Are

A trusted advisor in your corner

That's where we come in. Konur Consulting is a trusted advisor to the partners and executives who run collections law firms - not a vendor with one product to push. The firm is led by founder Anil Konur, who brings 22+ years of leadership across operations, product, and customer success, a management-consulting foundation at Deloitte, and years advising creditors'-rights and collections law firms on exactly these decisions.

More about Anil

We meet you wherever the pressure is. Sometimes the answer is technology; just as often it's the process around it, the people, or the way the matter flow is structured. The job is to see the whole board - what's right, in what order, and how the pieces fit - and then help make it real, not just recommend it.

And we don't disappear when the recommendation lands. We stay in your corner as a long-term partner - through the build, the rollout, and the next decision after that - because the pressure keeps moving, and the value of an advisor is being there as it does.

We don't drop off a recommendation and leave. We find the right moves, in the right order - and stay to make them real.

— What We Bring

How we help

The full range these decisions demand, brought to wherever it's needed. Most engagements use more than one.

Frameworks & Process

Strategy, process & workflow

Often the highest-leverage move, and the least glamorous: re-segment the docket, route each matter to the track that fits it - demand, suit, judgment, enforcement - and standardize the steps that were living in people's heads. Frequently no new software required - just the practice working the way it should.

AI

Custom AI & automation

Where a step is repetitive, high-volume, and rule-bound - intake, demand generation, pleading prep, status updates - we build automation around it, AI placed at the point of real leverage and governed to hold up under scrutiny from the court and the bar. Built to fit your practice, not a generic engine bolted on top.

Global Operations

Vendor selection & integration

The market is loud and the claims are inflated. We help you cut through it - choose what actually fits, then connect and orchestrate it with what you already run (practice/case management, service of process, e-filing, payments, skip-trace) so the tools work together instead of in silos. The right buy, wired in right.

AI · Data

A unified data layer

A queryable layer beneath your systems of record that makes every workflow, automation, and integration sharper - and turns the data you already generate into something you can act on. The foundation the rest stands on.

— The Upside

From surviving today to winning tomorrow

Handle the squeeze well and the equation flips. The same work that protected your margins becomes the foundation you grow on - and the pressures that threatened the practice turn into the places you pull ahead.

Grow without growing headcount

With the repetitive work automated where it should be and the matter flow running clean, capacity stops being capped by who you can hire. You take on more volume - more files, more clients - without the attorney and support headcount that used to come with it.

Command better economics

When you can prove higher recovery and airtight, defensible files, you stop competing on rate alone. Strong numbers and real reporting let you defend your terms, win better client contracts, and walk away from the work that isn't worth it.

Make rigor a selling point

The same discipline that keeps courts and regulators satisfied becomes a reason clients choose you. Auditable, defensible, well-run files win placements from the creditors who care most about litigation and reputational risk - the business your less-disciplined competitors can't touch.

And it compounds. The data you've been generating all along becomes an asset - sharper segmentation, smarter prioritization of which matters to push, decisions trained on your own book that no competitor can buy. A clean, documented practice is also worth more: easier to scale, and a stronger position if you ever sell or merge. The pressure that threatened the practice becomes the moment you pulled ahead of it.

Done right, the fight to get through today is what positions you to win tomorrow.

— Proof

The work shows up in the numbers

A trusted advisor's work shows up in the numbers. For one collections agency we worked with - the same discipline we bring to a practice:

Mid-size collections agency

Turning manual workflows into automated infrastructure

Challenge

A regional debt-collections firm with a mid-sized operations team was running a portfolio of manual, repetitive workflows by hand.

What we did

Converted that portfolio into automated infrastructure, sequencing the highest-volume, highest-effort processes first. Ten months in, several are live - with more queued for the coming months.

— The results

50%
increase in recovery
40%
lower cost to collect
4 weeks
to pinpoint what needed to change

The discipline travels - what moved this agency’s numbers is what moves a firm’s docket.

— Questions

Common questions

We've been burned by a vendor before. How is this different?

We're not a vendor with one product to sell. We start from your problem, not a tool - and we help you choose, integrate, and operationalize, so what you buy actually delivers. If the right answer isn't a purchase, we'll tell you.

Everyone's pushing AI. Do we actually need it?

Sometimes - and sometimes not. AI is a real lever when it's matched to the right problem and built on data it can trust - and in a firm it has to hold up to the court and the bar. We help you tell the difference between where it pays off and where it's just expense, before you commit.

We don't have technical staff. Can you still help?

Yes - that's the point. We bring the bench you don't have in-house: the experience to choose well, the hands to integrate, and the structure to operationalize, so you're not left with something no one can run.

Is this a product or a consulting engagement?

Both. It begins as consulting - finding the real problem - but it doesn't end at recommendations. We bring tools we've already built, and we develop new ones where the problem calls for it.

— Let's Talk

Start with a conversation

The fastest way to find out where your practice is exposed - and where the opportunity is - is a conversation about what's actually pressing on the firm. No pitch, no product. We start by understanding the problem, then tell you what's worth doing.
