Collections and Domestication of Foreign Judgments

The firm has extensive experience representing both creditors and debtors in collection matters including unpaid invoices, promissory notes, bank checks, mortgages, and their financial obligations. Many debtors are acutely aware that foreign creditors often do not have the contacts or sophistication to pursue a debtor in a foreign country. Urban & Thier, P.A. has the experience to represent plaintiffs and defendants in these matters.

For international corporate and individual clients, we have extensive experience domesticating foreign judgments in the United States and Germany, bringing and defending lawsuits to collect amounts owed for unpaid goods and services, and otherwise enforcing our clients’ rights under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the Hague Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and the multiple other laws which may apply.

Urban & Thier, P.A. routinely represents creditors and debtors in Florida courts. The firm is very experienced in serving individuals who are being pursued for collection matters and is able to assist these individuals through the use of various federal and state laws designed to protect debtors from improper creditor tactics. These laws include the federal Debt Collections Practices Act and the state equivalent Consumer Protection Act.
