Implementation of enforcement measures
In addition to Abeille Avocats’ particular expertise in debt recovery, and because a favourable decision is only of interest when it can be effectively enforced, Abeille Avocats operates throughout France via its network of privileged partners (bailiffs, agents, etc.) and is able to implement enforcement measures when the situation so requires.
This involves using all legal means available to a creditor to obtain from a debtor who refuses to comply with a decision, the services ordered by a decision that has become enforceable. This may involve seizure for sale, seizure-award or seizure of property, measures that may be taken on a precautionary basis (before a favourable judgment is obtained) or on a definitive basis (after a judgment has been obtained).
Abeille’s lawyers, who specialise in civil procedures, enforcement, and seizures, advise, and assist you in Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, Nîmes and Paris.
Abeille Avocats has specific expertise in debt recovery, particularly in the health and social care sector.
Pre-litigation and litigation assistance
Abeille Avocats possesses a wealth of experience in this area and provides day-to-day support to some of the key players in this field, whether at the pre-litigation stage (amicable debt collection) or the litigation stage (legal debt collection).
Favouring a considerate approach in this sensitive sector, Abeille Avocats will do everything in its power to recover accommodation costs amicably where possible. If necessary, we will draw up a settlement agreement to secure a possible payment schedule.
Pre-litigation preparation and responsiveness
That being said, rapid and effective debt collection ultimately presupposes that a writ of execution is obtained, and that pre-litigation preparation and appropriate responsiveness are in place to avoid any risk of insolvency on the part of the debtor (whether in good or bad faith) or the risk of the statute of limitations running out.
Overall monitoring of the process and partnerships
In this respect, Abeille Avocats is particularly vigilant as to the effectiveness of the procedures initiated and does everything in its power to obtain effective recovery of unpaid debts. Abeille Avocats – which operates throughout France via its network of privileged partners (bailiffs, agents) – offers comprehensive monitoring of the process from the first pre-litigation formal notice to the enforcement of the decision rendered.
Assistance with maintenance obligations and specific situations
In addition to its core expertise, Abeille Avocats has developed the additional skills needed to ensure that debt recovery proceedings run smoothly. In this respect, Abeille Avocats assists its clients in enforcing maintenance obligations. In particular, we act in cases of guardianship or safeguard (liability action), in the event of vacant inheritance or over-indebtedness.
