When you may need help
Work is done or goods delivered, but the client does not pay, alleges defects or refuses to sign acceptance. Your performance must be proved and the basis on which payment became due established. Then negotiations, court costs and actual recovery prospects can be assessed.
What we can do
- Check the contract, primary records and debt calculation.
- Prepare a demand and settlement proposals.
- Agree on court claims and the subsequent enforcement stage.
What to prepare for the consultation
- Contract, specifications, acceptance records, delivery notes and invoices.
- Proof of delivery of the result and partial payment.
- Correspondence on quality, deadlines and acknowledgment of the debt.
If some documents are missing, start by describing the situation: we will identify what else needs to be obtained. In the first form, the country, the nature of the matter and important dates are enough; document numbers and scans are not needed.
What to bear in mind
An unsigned acceptance report requires separate assessment of performance evidence. Winning in court does not replace recovery: the debtor’s financial position matters in practice.
Process and cost
- You describe the situation and the outcome you want.
- We clarify the circumstances, the country and the documents needed for review.
- Before paid work begins, we agree on its scope, cost and format: consultation, document preparation or representation.
The cost depends on the volume of documents, the stage of the case and the need for involvement in another country. Court fees, notarial acts, translations and expert assessments are discussed separately if required. The outcome depends on the circumstances, evidence and decisions of the competent authorities.
Frequently asked question
Is a demand required before going to court?
We will check the contract and applicable rules. Even when not mandatory, a demand may help record your position and propose a settlement.
Can I get help with “Business counterparty debts” if I live abroad?
We can start remotely while you are abroad. In your first message, state where you live and where the relevant party, property or authority is located. We will check whether a representative can take particular steps and whether the procedure requires your personal participation.
Does my country of residence decide which law applies to “Business counterparty debts”?
No. Your place of residence alone does not decide which law applies. Relevant factors can include the countries connected to the parties, where an event or contractual duty took place, where property is located and which authority is handling the matter. We first check the connection to Ukraine, the potentially applicable law and whether local counsel in another country is needed.
What if I do not have all the documents for “Business counterparty debts”?
You do not need a complete file to make an initial inquiry. Give us a short timeline, your desired outcome, important dates and a list of the documents you already have. Document numbers and scans are not needed in the first inquiry; after clarifying the facts, we will identify what is missing.
What determines the cost of help with “Business counterparty debts”, and can I limit the scope?
Before paid work begins, we agree on its format, specific steps, deliverables and fee. The cost depends on the materials, stage of the matter and any work involving another country. Court or official fees, notarial acts, translations and expert reviews are discussed separately if needed.
Can you guarantee the outcome or timeframe for “Business counterparty debts”?
No. We cannot promise a decision by a court or authority, or the actions of another party. After reviewing the facts, we explain the available options, evidence needed, risks and the timing of our own work. The overall duration can also depend on other parties, authorities and cross-border procedures; tell us promptly about notices and dates.
