Debt collection in Legal services
Increasingly more and more lawyers are experiencing a decline in payment morale with their clients. Debt collection in the legal sector can be a challenging process. It is important for your business that you are paid on time. Ultimately, you should receive what you are entitled to. There can be various reasons for why your client refuses to pay your invoice:
- Your client is not satisfied with the delivered results
- The case was unsuccessful and your client refuses to pay
- Your client believes that an excessive amount has been declared
- Your client may have encountered financial difficulties
- Your client simply turned out to be a defaulter
Debt collection in the legal sector
Claims for unpaid invoices within the legal sector are difficult to solve. It is important to manage the expectations of your client and clarify the possible outcomes and procedures. If these are not managed sufficiently or if your client believes that excessive claims have been made by a lawyer, your client may refuse to pay your invoice. Moreover, if your client is not satisfied with the outcome of their legal case, they could object as well.
General code of conduct in law
If you have a claim, and you wish to retrieve this either with or without legal actions, there are several rules you must abide to as described in the general code of conduct in law. The general code of conduct in law describes that selling or assigning claims against a client is not allowed. Transferring the case to a third party who is not a subject to similar regulations regarding confidentiality as lawyers are, is also forbidden. If you have an unpaid invoice, you cannot involve a bailiff because they do not adhere to the same confidentiality regulations. However, not all law firms are equipped with the right resources for debt collection. That is why you can rely on Bierens to help you retrieve your unpaid invoice. Not only do we abide to the code of conduct of law, we specialise in debt recovery.
Collecting an unpaid invoice can be a very time-consuming process. From calling a debtor, writing demand letters to announcing legal proceedings if necessary, are all lengthy procedures. Transferring your case will be more beneficial. As we are a debt recovery law firm, our organisation abides to the same code of conduct as to legal firms. This way you can transfer your case to a trusted party with similar confidentiality rules and has specific knowledge and expertise in debt recovery.
