Collection of outstanding debts

Collection of outstanding debts

The firm works and produces, pays its investments, its materials and its personnel, but does not receive the fruit of its work until after these prior expenses…

If firms need to sell, they also need to be paid to obtain the material result of their  efforts, cover the expenses incurred and ensure their development.   

A good customer is a customer who pays for his purchases …

Our primary concern is to assist the firm until the end of its commercial action and the fair remuneration of its work.

 

Our answer

We assist you in all or part of the following assignments, depending on your requirements:

  • understanding of the specificities of your profession and the environment of the dispute;
  • identification of the facts, by visiting the firm or the worksite;
  • preparation of the strategy for the proceedings: choice of jurisdiction, choice of partners, choice of evidence, duration and rhythm of the procedure ;
  • analysis of the specificities of the other party and the judges to adapt the action and the discourse and obtain quick decisions;
  • adaptation of the pleadings to the identified expectations of the magistrate;
  • negotiation with the other party if necessary;
  • automatic attendance at all the hearings;
  • preparation upstream of the after proceedings to ensure the payment of the sums owing by the other party;
  • identification of any internal malfunctioning having made the collection more complex, preparation of a good practises guide to avoid unpaid debts and later contentious actions;
  • in-house training of the teams the most exposed so as to avoid unpaid debts and facilitate collection.

Our teams give priority to quick action; they include lawyers and a dedicated clerk, who control all aspects of the collection situation and the various procedures possible.

They call on a network of bailiffs, or even private detectives, efficient for noting all the debtors assets ; they can thus make secure the procedure engaged by protective measures, which will isolate in the debtors assets, the amounts or property intended to settle the amount owing.   

We focus on the important debts or liable to place the firm in a delicate situation; for all the usual small debts, we advise our clients to use the specialist debt collection organisations; thus our teams are available for cases with high stakes.
