Summary
Neil Heaney represented Manchester City alongside stints at Arsenal and England during his playing career. After he and a friend lost £50,000 on a failed Costa Del Sol property investment in 2002, Heaney established Judicare to help others caught in similar situations.
The firm now operates across 15 jurisdictions including Spain, Greece and Cyprus, serving primarily ordinary families and retirees seeking overseas property or trapped in foreign mortgage disputes. Judicare has helped clients write off more than €60m (£51m) in foreign mortgage debt and purchase over €75m (£64m) worth of foreign property, with targets to exceed €100m in debt relief by year end.
Heaney said the firm's growth reflects demand for specialist legal support in jurisdictions with unfamiliar laws, and that relatability with clients who have experienced fraud is central to the practice. He aims to continue expanding beyond the current 15 countries to become the leading firm for individuals facing overseas property problems.
