Claims of Amounts
Late Payment or arrears is the main barrier which stops financial growth and one of the most important perils faced by companies. In this Firm, we are devoted to manage your defaults from a first essay of friendly settlement, counting with all the instruments for a swift recovery of the owed amount, up until it is necessary, if there is no other solution, to claim the debt in court and execute the Court Order.
The regulative impulse in Europe has tried to favour the country members of the EU to claim their debts and to make debt recovery quicker, with the idea in mind to create a safer European trade area. Two of the main mechanisms used in Spain to combat late payment are the so-called monitory process, which is a swift and economical way of recovering the owed amounts and the Spanish Arrears Law which, amongst other measures, makes the interests of the debt to be higher for the debtor.
Bankruptcy Law
The Bankruptcy Laws in Spain have been modified, being adapted to the present situation in Spain. A legal assessment in a case of this nature is always necessary to know what actions to take and which are not convenient.
