Debt collection abroad thanks to coordination by ARROWS International
ARROWS Law Firm conducted an analysis of the applicable law and jurisdiction of courts in accordance with European rules for cross-border disputes. Following this, the firm prepared the correct procedural documentation, including an out-of-court demand drafted in accordance with local customs, and at the same time checked the debtor's creditworthiness in the relevant foreign registers so that the client would not invest in steps that would not be realistically enforceable. The advisory services also included setting a timetable with regard to foreign limitation periods and securing the necessary translations and formal requirements for the use of documents abroad.

Based on the chosen strategy, ARROWS initiated enforcement proceedings through a European payment order. The firm also coordinated the subsequent enforcement of the decision in the country where the debtor's assets were located and managed communication with the relevant enforcement authorities. The result was an enforcement order that could be used across borders and the practical collection of the debt, including the application of accessories and costs associated with enforcement.
