Debt Recovery

Debt recovery is a high-intensity legal strategy.

It demands experience, timing, and the ability to strike precisely—based on a rigorous analysis of the debtor’s financial position.

Each intervention begins with a thorough assessment of the debtor’s assets. The most effective measure is selected based on the type of enforceable title, the debtor’s behavior, and the enforcement leverage available. Every strategic decision is designed to act at the right time, using the most suitable legal instrument—whether a demand letter, seizure, enforcement action, bankruptcy filing, or liability claim against company directors.

When to take legal action for debt recovery

Acting too early may be pointless. Acting too late may be fatal.In debt recovery, timing—“factor t”—is a technical variable, not an emotional one.

A claim should be enforced when legal and financial conditions justify it. This means checking documentation, evaluating the debtor’s conduct, and analyzing their financial standing.

Legal strategy is a powerful tool, not a reactive instinct. An effective action, such as an enforceable payment order or the freezing of bank accounts, and the fear of personal asset exposure, can be the key difference between recovering the full amount and writing it off.

But it all starts with choosing the right legal partner. Canella Camaiora® assists clients in assessing the cost-effectiveness of legal action, calculating timing and expenses, selecting the best legal tools, and evaluating whether—and how—it is worth proceeding.

Out-of-court recovery: when it works and why it matters

Out-of-court recovery is the first strategic move in many cases. It allows for swift action, reduced costs, and preservation of commercial relationships when there is room for a settlement.

A well-drafted demand letter, assisted negotiation, or formal first contact can yield tangible results—provided the approach is methodical, authoritative, and guided by clear objectives.

Canella Camaiora® frames every extrajudicial action within a broader legal strategy. If no result is achieved, no time is lost: we are immediately prepared to escalate with judicial remedies.

Judicial recovery: when it’s necessary and how we proceed

When the debtor does not respond—or when stronger action is strategically preferable—judicial recovery becomes the next step.

Canella Camaiora® initiates monitoring proceedings, enforcement actions, precautionary seizures, and bankruptcy petitions, evaluating timing, cost, risks, and opportunities.

Judicial recovery is a high-impact legal response. It serves not only to obtain payment, but also to apply pressure, uncover hidden assets, or open the door to favorable settlement negotiations.
