Our bilingual legal team helps businesses and individuals collect overdue payments across France.
Turn your court judgment into real, recoverable money — anywhere in France.
Winning a judgment is only the first step. Enforcing it against a debtor in France requires local legal authority, immediate bailiff actions, and strict procedural compliance.
Our firm provides lawyer-led judgment enforcement throughout France, acting for foreign companies, international investors, private individuals, and overseas law firms who need rapid and effective execution of a judgment against a French debtor.
We enforce French judgments, EU judgments, arbitral awards, UK & US court orders, and decisions from most international jurisdictions — swiftly, strategically, and with full transparency.
We provide a complete, lawyer-supervised process to ensure your judgment leads to real recovery not just a piece of paper.
We begin with a full review of the judgment, debtor profile, and available assets. We then issue a lawyer-drafted formal notice requiring immediate compliance often enough to trigger voluntary payment.
Includes:
Goal: obtain payment without delays or court intervention.
Before the debtor hides, transfers, or dissipates assets, we initiate urgent preliminary seizures to protect your rights.
