In the context of cross-border economic exchanges, situations of non-receipt of invoices from external business partners may arise. Often, the long distance between the parties or the fact that the dispute has to be brought before a foreign court are causes that discourage the recovery of such claims.
In order to support the creditor, we take the necessary steps to recover these debts by identifying and applying the most efficient procedures, specific to each case. We verify the debtor and his assets, formulate requests or actions to obtain a European enforcement order and forward it to the competent authorities in the debtor's country of residence for enforcement.
In this procedure we are also helped by contacts established over time with lawyers and executors abroad.
We use the most appropriate legal means to cause or compel the debtor to pay, such as:
- Drafting and sending notices / summons to the debtor;
- Conducting negotiations and reaching mutual agreements;
- Drafting and support of claims / actions in court - common law action, order for payment, claim for reduced value, European order for payment, application for opening insolvency proceedings;
- Making applications for securing measures - seizure or attachment;
- Cancellation of asset transfers made by the debtor in fraud of the creditor;
- Formulating requests for enforcement on the basis of enforceable titles and following the enforcement procedure until the creditor collects the debt.
Advantages of outsourcing the debt recovery process:
- Increase debt collection rate - prompt action by a debt collection lawyer will discipline the relationship with business partners and make them meet their payment obligations when due to avoid additional costs;
- You get rid of the hassle of debt recovery proceedings - you can concentrate on your current activities (sales, investments, marketing, etc.);
- Reduce costs - reduce or even eliminate your debt collection expenses (office space, salaries, software, etc);
