Practice Area 06
Debtor Protection
Our firm specialises exclusively in negotiating with claims management companies (funds) and in handling their claims — both pre-litigation, at the stage of the out-of-court settlement mechanism and other available debt-restructuring tools, and before the courts, through objections to payment orders and to reports of compulsory seizure.
Out-of-court handling
At the pre-litigation stage, we make use of the out-of-court settlement mechanism and other available debt-restructuring tools, negotiating directly with the claims management companies.
The success of a settlement is judged by whether it is sustainable. An agreement with an instalment the debtor’s income cannot support leads to a fresh default and a worse position than the original one — which is why the financial picture is examined beforehand, not afterwards.
Court proceedings
We file objections against payment orders and against reports of compulsory seizure. We have secured dozens of decisions annulling payment orders and seizure reports, relieving our clients of the anxiety of foreclosure auction proceedings.
Enforcement proceedings unfold in stages, each with its own formal requirements and its own time limits for a response. Because the available defence often depends on the stage the proceedings have reached, seeking a lawyer’s advice promptly — as soon as the first document is received — is decisive.
Our objective
Our objective is a comprehensive, planned and well-targeted overall handling of debts, both in and out of court, with results that meet the expectations and financial capacity of our clients.
Debts are addressed as a whole, not one by one. A debtor usually has more than one creditor, each at a different procedural stage — and a settlement serviced in isolation can collapse the moment the next creditor moves. Recording the full picture of debts and available security precedes every negotiation.
