Debt Recovery

An unpaid receivable conceals more than a mere accounting entry. It represents a breach of a contractual obligation and a direct interference with the company’s cash flow. We represent creditors at every stage of recovery: from the first demand for payment through to enforcement. We approach the matter systematically and select the course of action that maximises the prospect of actual satisfaction of the claim.

Out-of-Court Recovery

Litigation is costly and time-consuming. We therefore begin every recovery case with a thorough analysis of the situation: the debtor’s creditworthiness, the nature of the contractual relationship, and available security. On that basis, we select an out-of-court approach that may lead to prompt payment without the need for legal proceedings.

We prepare pre-litigation demands with a clear legal basis and arguments designed to persuade the debtor that voluntary payment is in its own interest as well. Where purposeful, we conduct direct negotiations with the debtor or its legal representative and explore solutions – whether by way of instalment payments, acknowledgement and securing of the debt in a manner that improves enforceability.

The out-of-court phase of recovery is not merely a courtesy preamble – it is a strategic choice that in many cases delivers results more quickly and at lower cost than litigation.
Litigation and Enforcement

Where out-of-court recovery does not produce a result, we proceed to judicial enforcement. We represent clients in contentious proceedings, whether before a court or in arbitration.

Following a final decision, we prepare and file applications for enforcement and cooperate with enforcement officers to carry it out effectively. We monitor the course of enforcement proceedings and, working together with the enforcement officer, direct efforts towards effective recovery of the client’s claim.

Our work also encompasses interim measures – where there is a risk that the debtor may transfer or encumber assets before the court delivers its decision, we can secure their preservation.
B2B Receivables

Recovery of receivables between business entities has its own specific features. Commercial relationships are generally more complex, the amounts at stake are higher, and the debtor – whether a competitor or a business partner – may have access to its own qualified legal support.

For corporate clients, we manage receivables portfolios: establishing internal reminder processes, standardising contractual documentation to reduce the risk of disputes, and providing legal assessment of the status and enforceability of receivables. We also represent clients in insolvency proceedings: we file proofs of claim, attend creditors’ meetings, and advance their interests throughout the insolvency process.

A receivable can only be recovered if it is properly documented from the outset. We help clients establish contracts and processes that prevent unpaid receivables from arising – and where they do arise, ensure they are enforceable.
