Debt recovery and management of unpaid debts are crucial aspects of commercial activity. Commercial law encompasses numerous regulations regarding invoicing and payment processes. A commercial lawyer ensures your invoices are compliant with legal standards, issues formal notices to debtors, and, if necessary, takes steps to recover outstanding debts.

Should reminder notices fail, legal action may be required. To prevent this, we can arrange payment guarantees such as surety bonds. For amounts up to €4,000, there is no need to go through the Commercial Court.
