Effective claims management plays an important role in monitoring and recovering outstanding debts, particularly where payments are delayed.

Businesses may encounter situations in which a client or contractual partner fails to pay for services rendered, despite having received the agreed services or goods. In some cases, payment reminders remain unanswered.

Our law firm handles legal matters relating to the recovery of outstanding claims. This includes managing the dunning process and taking further legal steps where appropriate.

If you instruct us to pursue a claim, the costs depend on the circumstances of the case and the applicable statutory provisions. Where the debtor is in default, the costs recoverable under the applicable law may also be claimed from the debtor. In some cases, a formal written demand from a lawyer may lead to payment without further legal proceedings.
