How We Work

A clear, four-stage path to recovery

You always know what is happening on your matter, what it costs, and what comes next.

Assess

We review your contracts, invoices and correspondence to gauge claim strength and the debtor's position.

Strategise

We recommend the most efficient route — negotiation, notice, arbitration or court — with costs in writing.

Act

Notices are issued, filings made and settlement discussions opened, all within statutory timelines.

Recover & Report

We pursue payment through to closure and keep you updated with regular written status reports.

Two Tracks

Settle where possible. Enforce where necessary.

Track A · Amicable

Negotiated resolution

Faster, lower-cost and relationship-preserving — ideal when the debtor is willing but delayed.

  • Formal demand and follow-up on your behalf
  • Structured payment plans and settlement terms
  • Mediation and documented settlement agreements

FAQ

Common questions

Can't find what you need? Talk to us directly →

Many matters settle within weeks of a legal notice. Contested claims that go to arbitration or court take longer, and we'll give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your documents.

Contracts or purchase orders, invoices, delivery proofs, ledger statements, emails or messages acknowledging the dues, and any dishonoured cheques with bank memos.

Yes. Depending on the facts, remedies may include a refund demand, a civil recovery suit, arbitration, or, where there is evidence of dishonest intent, a criminal complaint.

We offer fixed fees for defined stages such as notices and filings, and monthly retainer plans from ₹3,999 for businesses that need ongoing support. All fees are confirmed in writing before work begins.
