Our Swiss law firm offers tailored legal solutions for debt collection, implementation of enforcement proceedings, and resolution of financial disputes.
Debt collection is an essential step to secure your financial flows and maintain the economic health of your company. In Switzerland, legal procedures in this field require in-depth expertise, whether for amicable resolution or complex judicial actions. Our specialized lawyers provide their experience to ensure effective recovery of your debts while preserving your business relationships.
Amicable settlement is often the first step in a debt collection process. It allows direct negotiation with the debtor to establish repayment plans or payment agreements adapted to each party’s financial situation.
If this step fails, we initiate rigorous legal proceedings. These include sending official formal notices, filing suits before competent courts, and representation throughout the process until an enforceable decision is obtained.
A favorable court decision does not always guarantee immediate payment. To secure your rights, our lawyers expert in enforcement proceedings implement legal mechanisms such as seizure of movable or immovable property, bank garnishments, and other protective measures. These tools allow for blocking or liquidating assets belonging to the debtor to ensure financial compensation.
For international debts, we coordinate our efforts with local experts to enforce foreign judgments or intervene in multi-jurisdictional cases.
