Legal Debt Recovery in Spain
Do you have an unpaid invoice, outstanding loan, or money owed to you by an individual or company in Spain? Our legal team assists international clients, expatriates, businesses, and private individuals with debt recovery and enforcement proceedings throughout Spain.
We handle both out-of-court negotiations and court proceedings, helping clients recover outstanding debts efficiently while protecting their legal interests.
Whether the debt arises from unpaid rent, a private loan, a commercial agreement, or a contractual dispute, we can assess your case and advise on the most effective recovery strategy. Debt recovery in Spain typically begins with formal demands for payment and may proceed to court action if necessary.
Types of Debt Recovery Cases
We assist clients with:
Our Debt Recovery Process
1.Case Assessment
We review all available documentation, including contracts, invoices, correspondence, payment records, and other evidence. Based on the information provided, we evaluate the strength of the claim and recommend the most appropriate recovery strategy.
2. Formal Demand for Payment
Our lawyers contact the debtor directly and issue a formal written demand, often through a registered communication known in Spain as a "burofax." This step frequently results in payment without the need for court proceedings.
3. Investigation and Solvency Review
If payment is not made voluntarily, we may investigate the debtor's financial situation and assets to assess the likelihood of successful recovery before commencing legal action.
4. Negotiation and Settlement
Where appropriate, we seek negotiated settlements and structured repayment agreements. A properly drafted settlement can provide a faster and more cost-effective solution than litigation.
5. Court Proceedings and Enforcement
If no settlement is reached, we can initiate legal proceedings before the Spanish courts. Depending on the nature and value of the claim, different judicial procedures may apply. Once a judgment is obtained, we can also assist with enforcement measures against the debtor's assets.
International Debt Recovery
Our firm regularly assists foreign individuals and companies seeking to recover debts in Spain. We advise clients throughout Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, and other jurisdictions.
Where necessary, we can also assist with the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments in Spain, allowing creditors to pursue recovery against Spanish-based assets. Foreign judgments may require recognition procedures depending on their country of origin.
