Cross-border · Local counsel

Enforcing against a foreign debtor

Where a debtor sits outside the United States and a domestic demand is not enough, the firm engages and directs local counsel in the debtor's own jurisdiction — pursuing the claim under local law and enforcing against local assets, while the client deals with a single point of contact here.

Recovered through coordinated foreign counsel
Arbitration

Receivable subject to an arbitration clause

When the contract compels arbitration rather than court, the firm pursues the balance through the arbitral forum — filing the demand, presenting the claim, and confirming the resulting award for enforcement.

Award obtained in arbitration
Cross-border · Software

Overseas reseller, unpaid license balance

A foreign reseller stopped paying on a multi-year software agreement and ignored routine invoicing. The firm located the responsible officers, established liability under the master agreement, and resolved the account by settlement.

Recovered by negotiated settlement
Domestic · Manufacturing

Supplier receivable disputed on renewal

A domestic customer disputed an auto-renewal invoice, claiming late cancellation. The firm's analysis of the termination clause defeated the defense and the balance was paid in full.

Paid in full after demand
