The process

How we help you move forward

  1. Assess the claim

    We confirm the amount, due dates, parties, governing documents and communications.

  2. Review recovery options

    We consider the evidence, procedural route and available information about the debtor.

  3. Pursue the agreed approach

    We assist with the appropriate demand, negotiation or legal proceedings within the agreed scope.

  4. Address payment or enforcement

    We help document settlements or assess the further steps required to pursue an enforceable outcome.

A claim and a recoverable payment are different questions

We assess both the legal basis and the practical information available about recovery. A favorable decision does not by itself establish that the debtor has assets available to pay.

What do you need help with?

Select the situation closest to yours.

Unpaid business invoices

We review the contract, invoices, delivery or performance records and correspondence to understand the basis of the debt.

A personal loan has not been repaid

We assess the loan terms, transfers, acknowledgments and repayment history before discussing recovery options.

The debtor disputes the amount

We identify the disagreement and the documents supporting each part of the claim, including any credits, payments or disputed performance.

I already have a judgment

We review the decision, its status and the location of the debtor or assets. A foreign judgment requires its own procedural assessment.

What supports the debt?

Choose an option to see what to prepare for an initial review.

A signed contract and unpaid invoices

Gather the agreement, invoices and evidence that the goods or services were provided. We use the complete record to assess the demand.

Transfers and messages

Preserve the payment records and the full correspondence. We assess what they establish about the agreement and the outstanding amount.

An existing court decision

Send the full decision and procedural history. The steps depend on where it was issued and what is needed to act on it in Argentina.

Documents

What should you have ready?

Start with what you have. The document list for your matter will depend on the facts and the agreed scope.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Can you collect from an Argentine company for a foreign creditor?

We review the contract, parties and jurisdiction to assess the appropriate route for the claim.

Can you guarantee recovery?

No. Recovery depends on the merits, procedure, debtor and assets. We explain the work and known limitations after reviewing the evidence.

Should I send only the unpaid invoice?

The surrounding agreement and evidence of performance are often relevant. Send the full supporting record, including partial payments or disputes.

Can a settlement be documented?

Yes. We review payment terms, deadlines and the legal form of the proposed agreement as part of the settlement work.

A common scenario

“An Argentine customer has not paid several invoices after repeated reminders.”
