Enforcement of extrajudicial debt instruments
Court collection of checks, promissory notes, trade bills (duplicatas) and contracts that Brazilian law treats as enforceable instruments, with no need for a prior lawsuit to discuss the debt.
Practice area
Debt recovery and enforcement of judgments
We act for individuals and companies who are owed money under a contract, a debt instrument or a court decision. Everything starts with a review of the claim and the case, and only then do we define the next steps.
Topics
What we do in this area
Enforcement of judgments
The stage at which the decision that recognized the debt must be complied with. We file the payment requests and, where appropriate, requests for attachment of assets.
Payment order action (ação monitória)
Used to collect debts proven in writing that do not qualify as enforceable instruments, such as a time-barred check.
Protest of debt instruments and court decisions
Protest of debt instruments at the notary's office and, after the payment deadline, of final court decisions.
Negotiation and settlements
Negotiation with the debtor and drafting of settlements, debt acknowledgments and installment agreements, in or out of court.
Claims in judicial reorganization and bankruptcy
When the debtor files for judicial reorganization or bankruptcy, we file your claim and follow the proceedings (Law No. 11,101/2005).
Piercing the corporate veil
Requests for partners or related companies to answer for the debt, in the cases permitted by law.
Asset search
Search for the debtor's assets in public registries, open databases and court-authorized searches.
