Enforcement proceedings

Whether you are a creditor with a court judgment that needs to be enforced, or a debtor against whom enforcement has been started, a lawyer’s assistance is essential to protect your rights.

We offer clients legal services covering:

• certification of court judgments that are to be enforced;
• drafting enforcement requests and requests for restitution after enforcement;
• filing them with the court bailiff;
• following the whole procedure until the full amount in the enforceable title (the judgment) is recovered, and liaising with the bailiff throughout;
• identifying the best methods of enforcement (garnishment, seizure of movable or immovable property) and asking the bailiff to send enquiries to banks and central and local authorities for information on the debtor’s income and property;
• negotiating with the debtor to recover the debt and close the file;
• drafting challenges to enforcement and representing you in court on them;
• drafting requests for suspension;
• challenging enforcement started by banks or debt-collection companies (Kruk, Secapital, EOS KSI, Next Capital, OTP Factoring and others);
• assistance and representation in enforcement proceedings, auctions, evictions, seizures, bank enforcement and enforcement started by state institutions.

Please do not underestimate the importance of a legal opinion from a qualified professional. An enforcement request, a challenge or a request to suspend enforcement — or any other legal step — based only on information from the internet or from friends is as risky as treating an illness by guesswork.

To protect your rights, investments and business, a lawyer’s advice is the most efficient and least expensive option.
