Unpaid services or goods

Non-payment for services and goods represents a significant challenge for business owners and self-employed workers. Disputes are frequent and numerous: unpaid invoices, unpaid professional services, unpaid delivered goods, unfulfilled commercial contracts, unpaid wages and commissions. In the long term, these payment defaults can impact the company’s cash flow and liquidity, in addition to causing an enormous loss of time and resources. A lawyer can then be the designated person to manage difficult clients and initiate collection processes such as a formal demand letter, legal action, or forced execution (seizure).
