How the network works
We do not rent "global coverage" from a directory. Each partner firm is vetted on three things: courtroom record in commercial files, fee transparency, and response discipline. You sign one contingency agreement with Portage Collections; we carry the partner costs inside it. One mandate, one case manager, one monthly status report — however many jurisdictions your debtor touches.
