Collections and Domestication of Foreign Judgments

GavelThe firm has represented both creditors and debtors in collection matters including unpaid invoices, promissory notes, bank checks, mortgages, and other 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.
