What is a strategic B2B debt recovery firm?

A strategic B2B debt recovery firm does not only send reminders. It analyses the claim, evidence, debtor behaviour, dispute risk, solvency and possible recovery route before selecting the appropriate action.

When should a company appoint Legatum & Partners?

A company may appoint Legatum & Partners when the claim is significant, blocked, disputed, international or when repeated internal follow-ups no longer create useful pressure.

Do you handle international B2B claims?

Yes, subject to a preliminary review of the documents, debtor location, amount, dispute risk and realistic recovery or enforcement options.

Why appoint a strategic B2B debt recovery firm

Move beyond internal reminders

When internal follow-ups no longer produce results, an external intervention can restore structure, credibility and pressure.

Secure the evidence

Contracts, invoices, exchanges, reminders, statements of account and objections must be reviewed before action.

Select the right trajectory

The matter may require amicable recovery, pre-litigation, payment order, full trial, international action or enforcement.

Preserve control

The creditor keeps control of key decisions, supported by a structured reading of risks and options.

The files suited to our approach

Unpaid invoicesCommercial claims between companies that remain unpaid.

Silent debtorNo response, broken promises or ignored follow-ups.

Disputed claimQuality dispute, scope issue, technical objection or foreseeable opposition.

High-stakes fileSignificant amount, sensitive relationship, financial exposure or urgent cash issue.

InternationalForeign debtor, cross-border contract or enforcement outside France.

EnforcementNeed to go beyond a decision and focus on actual recovery.

Amicable, pre-litigation, judicial: one coherent trajectory

Effective B2B recovery is not a succession of disconnected reminders, letters and procedures. Each step should prepare the next one: preserve evidence, maintain legitimate pressure, avoid imprudent concessions and keep the file oriented towards recovery.

Why strategic positioning changes the outcome

The right message

Pressure must be firm, credible, legally coherent and adapted to the debtor’s behaviour.

The right evidence

A poorly presented or insufficiently documented claim may lose strength even if commercially justified.

The right target

The correct debtor, legal entity, decision-maker and potential assets must be identified.

The right timing

Waiting too long may reduce recoverability. Acting too fast without a structured file may weaken the next step.

Can a B2B debt recovery firm intervene before litigation?

Yes. The intervention may begin with a case audit, structured follow-up, formal notice or negotiation before any judicial step.

Does Legatum & Partners handle disputed claims?

Yes, subject to a preliminary review of the documents, dispute, chronology and procedural risk.

Does the firm guarantee recovery?

No. Recovery depends on evidence, debtor behaviour, solvency and enforcement options. The firm applies a structured method and an obligation of means.
